Mine was inspired by the poster who thought the ABBA song Fernando had the line "They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando" and though it was Lee Bertie who was someone special in their life 😄

If you know, you know!

Now, if only I had telekinetic powers....

I love pinot grigio and my mum wanted to call me Jemima (I'm not but it's always kind of stuck)

I want to marry Adam Lambert. Not his type unfortunately so I just admire from afar

Awesome character in a series of books.

My late DFIL always called me the dusky maiden . This is the older version.

IDontLikePinaColadas · 14/02/2024 15:49

I’m more of a dry martini-kinda gal.

I am a shiny apple who likes the seaside !

I'm obsessed with Iceland, languages, and books.
This is about the 100th username I've had though.

ElleLeopine · 14/02/2024 15:51

I change mine from time to time, always a character that has intrigued me from a book that has really impacted me.
And this has made me think it might be time for another change..... 🤔

My favourite way to have coffee

ErrolTheDragon · 14/02/2024 15:55

Literally, Guards, Guards. Grin

I had a non-Discworld Pratchett-inspired name before, but there were lots of dragonish names appearing on MN at the time so I grabbed this one. Dragon

Psychoticbreak · 14/02/2024 16:01

Guess what I had recently......

New2024 · 14/02/2024 16:02

I changed it because I was on a thread that became aggressive

BroughttoyoubyBerocca · 14/02/2024 16:02

Mine is always something in sight. Tube of Berocca was in line of sight when changing name before

Icouldbehappy · 14/02/2024 16:03

Mine is from a song by Altered Images. I had to come up with a new username and this song just happened to be in my head at the time.
I’m not even a massive fan of the song.

aitchteeaitch · 14/02/2024 15:53

hth

I love that.

Thehamsterthatcametotea · 14/02/2024 16:07

I change quite often but this one was inspired by reading the tiger who came to tea to DGC who then roared loudly for hours. Hamsters are much quieter.
