How did you pick your username?

I know it's been done a gazillion times, but this is chat!

Mine is based on a being from a book I'm reading at the moment (or just finished) by Marissa Meyer

My username is accurate

She's awesome and I'd like to be her.

Just random words, I've never been any good at usernames

I used to watch Psych a lot.

Mine is the brand name of the plug in Numeric keypad for my laptop, inches from my right hand.

I like butter on crackers

Gamertag.

From a favourite children’s book (Jack and the Flumflum tree) - the patchwork sack is the answer to all their problems.

Mine is a song name from my workout list.

I don't know how much a gallon of milk costs.

Guess....

Whatever I’m musing about on the day I decide to change names again.

I was feeling particularly useless, so named myself after the Ark B with the pointless people on it in Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.

Ah the flum flum tree. You've just made me realise I still know it by heart!

I tend to base mine on the time of year - haven't updated
For a while!

I really like Gene Hunt.

DGM said I glided around as quietly as the character in the Hitchcock film (that was after I stood behind her armchair and gave her a fright when I said something to her because she hadn't heard me come into the room)

DS was a tiny dot sat watching the Hoobs when I joined Mumsnet.

I was listening to St Etienne when i needed a new username. I bought my first St Etienne single in 1993.

I went to Costco in Feb 2020 before bogrolls were trendy.

It's an old AI chatbot. Someone once accused me of not being a real doctor. I've never given any medical advice on here, nor claimed to be a real doctor.

Mine speaks for itself

My username is accurate

As is mine!

I am a fan of an old British sci-fi series called Blake’s 7 and I want to be as fabulous as glamorous supervillain Servalan

Didn't Adams include telephone sanitisers? never understood that, I like a nice clean work phone. They were all over offices in the 80s and 90s then disappeared.

Many years ago, there was a bought of MN hacking alerts so we were encouraged to name change. I struggled to think of a suitable name on the spur of the moment, and randomly decided to use the name of the good witch in wizard of oz.

Except her name isn't Gazelda, it's Glinda.

I've lived with this big mistake ever since.

I’ve got loads of them, they usually
come to me in the middle of the night 😂
