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 posted a thread asking for advice about my baby who wanted to be awake from 1-4am every night. Apparently jellyfish never sleep, which would make him a babyjellyfish.

This is my most recent NC. Its inspired by two things, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe (which I love) and a thread in MN classics (which I also loved).

Am working up to a new name change but have to think it through first.

XenoBitch · 22/02/2023 23:14

Mine is based on the xenomorph from the Alien films, and the iconic quote - "get away from her, you bitch!"

Still, been accused of racism because of it 😶

A phrase from the book 'The Snow Spider', which I was reading at the time when I joined MN. My friend gave me a copy when I told him I was pregnant because it had been one of his favourite books as a child.

yodayoga1 · 22/02/2023 23:39

Totally random. Any combination of indivual words that come into my head. Regular name changer.
