I’m a regular name changer, this week it’s my favourite doggy star of Twitter that’s inspired me.

sometimes I do book characters, or a play on words in a movie title.

occasionally my dinner inspires me.

What about you? I miss some of my old names, but I value my anonymity more.

I was due a name change and was reading a thread about things that annoy you about your partner. I decided to pitch in on the thread as he never puts his washing in the fucking basket

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 22/02/2023 15:58

A true fact which happened to fit a song title.

I think I've had about 300 names and this is my favourite atm.

@PutItInTheFuckingBasket I read yours as PutinTheFuckingBasket. Which also works...

I’d just watched it again the other day. I name change every couple of weeks though.

BigusBumus1 · 22/02/2023 16:05

Ive had mine since 2006, minus the 1 on it, which i had to add as i couldn't get into the previous one for some reason....

Its inspired by Bigus Dickus in Life of Brian.

My original user name referred to our nomadic lifestyle (we moved country every 1 years)

My current one refers to the fact we are now settled in one place. For now. Dont have itchy feet, honest! (We won't move location again until children have left school at the earliest)

MalcolmTuckersBollockingface · 22/02/2023 16:07

Mine is self-explanatory if you have ever seen The Thick of it.

BruhWhy · 22/02/2023 16:09

My son is 12 and going through the "breathing is too much effort" stage. Asked him to go get changed after coming in from school and he did the most dramatic Kevin flop I've ever seen, threw his head back and moaned BRUUUUHHH WHYYYYY.

And I was stuck for a namechange so there you go

BridieConvert · 22/02/2023 16:10

The local delicacy where I live!

TokyoSushi · 22/02/2023 16:12

I love sushi and would really like to go to Japan, simple as that!

The new Lindor chocolates. Milk chocolate on the outside and dark choc centre. They are gorgeous!
