How Did You Pick Your Username?

[Dalekjastninerels]

Mine is from the Doomsday Episode of Dr Who when Dalek Jast said

"Wait! Rewind image by nine rels"

My DGD picked it when she was 2,to differentiate between us grannies. I have longer more complicated ones on other forums.

Mines a line uttered by Michelle in Big Brother when she was spying on Chicken Stu and was worried he was going to cop off with another housemate

An album that (lyrically) fell into my life at just the right moment, very therapeutic.

It's what DH used to call our guinea pigs.

Needed a change, had just watched Into The Spiderverse (again) with the teens.

I change every few months. I have a IRL pal who is on here and she talks about stalking her extended family’s Mumsnet posts. That horrified me, hence changes from time to time

LOVE crisps and dips!

Someone on here said it in a conversation and I howled with laughter. I promptly stole it as I think it's ace!

This is the first bunch of letter that came up as not used already.

I've had over 160 names though.. many are more thoughtful 😃

Mine is from Line of Duty although I have a few names which I use depending on which board I'm posting on.

I love some of the creative names I see in here (SirChenjins is one of my favourites) but my mind goes blank if I ever try and think of one 🙄

Every time I watch Better Call Saul, my husband will say out loud 'Kim Wexler's Ponytail'.

Used to bé just TB. In the very stressful period involving separation, hypothermia (with hindsight) I had to change m'y email address. Forgot my password. In the end, in a spirit of hopefulness and optimism, thought I'd become 'newtb'. So, I did.

I am curious (always have been) and will watch Better Call Saul.

Thanks everyone- this has been a very nice thread

Character from a book series, who’s kind of an unexpected badass!

Saw one of those things you see that says first letter of your name , first pet , and something else I can't remember and here I am.

My brother used to say it about me.

I do have a bit of a mean streak, though, to be fair.
My husband occasionally says I'm heartless because I'm a bit cold, so he says it now too.

Have a guess... ⚽🏆

My first name is actually Carrie, and although I don't have a "visual" memory of my grandpa (he died when I was 3), he always used to sing that song to me and I actually remember his voice!

For the youngsters among us, the song goes:

"Would you like to swing on a star,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar"

It's a very old song and not one I hear often, but it makes me smile to remember him.

We have a lot of ivy invading our garden from the railway line, and I have to spend far too much time cutting it back.

My advice to anyone contemplating growing some ivy is DON'T DO IT.

Mine is a character in a film.

Mines self explanatory 😂

Chalet School teacher.

It just seemed a fairly accurate description of me.

Inspired by "there's a hazelnut in every bite" and mispronunciation of my name combined

Go West

This particular one is meaningless.

My penultimate username was a name I gave to a kitten in a dream I'd just had😄
