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 😄

I just pick random phrases and name change regularly.

I'd just been on a thread about childhood memories and was thinking about when we used to get pop n crisps from the offie on a Friday night when we had a babysitter.

It's a She-Ra reference. She can ask her sword to turn into anything by saying "sword to ...!"

I used it to remember the name of a newly discovered South American mammal.

I was very excited to pass my test finally and get a car but also needed advice because I'd never had one and was worried about some aspects of being a new driver/owner.
People were really helpful!

I'm a big Terry Pratchett fan. In Eric he wrote (paraphrasing) "Multiple exclamation marks....are a sure sign of a diseased mind"

MillenialAvocado · 14/02/2024 16:34

I was born in 1987 and spend too much money on things like brunch

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/02/2024 16:34

Mine is self-explanatory

Character from 30 Rock. I name change every year or so, they're all TV characters.

Mummyofthewildones · 14/02/2024 16:37

Because my children are always impeccably behaved, seen and not heard types....🫣

cerisepanther73 · 14/02/2024 16:39

Mine is combination of my love of nature 😍 and i like the colour cerise and exotic sound of this name and my birth year date

Curiously intriguingly good thread idea too @ShiningforLeeBertie

TheBeautifulCorrs · 14/02/2024 16:40

It's a bit of late 90s/early noughties childhood nostalgia thanks to Saturday morning TV

iwannacoolrider · 14/02/2024 16:40

Michelle Pheiffer/Ladder.. One of my favourite films.

RonniePickering · 14/02/2024 16:41

Meaning of my name and my favourite smelling flower

RampantIvy · 14/02/2024 16:43

The ivy that grows over our fence which rampantly grows back every time I cut it back. We back onto a railway line and I can't get rid of it.

eddiemairswife · 14/02/2024 16:43

Wishful thinking.

Cuppachuchu · 14/02/2024 16:44

Bob Mortimer said it on the fishing prog (asking Paul if he wanted a coffee, cappuccino) and made me laugh out loud.

Fallstar · 14/02/2024 16:45

Fan of Robin Hobb's Fitz & the Fool books.

Iwant2beJessicaFletcher · 14/02/2024 16:46

BouleDeSuif · 14/02/2024 16:47

A character in a story that I like.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 14/02/2024 16:49

I was Theaveragebear (as in yogi bear, I’m smarter than the average bear) but then a few years back there was a data hack and we all changed our names so I became TheNewaveragebear - although a lot of people refer to me as the new wave rage bear which is probably more accurate

nokidshere · 14/02/2024 16:50

Because I don't like children being called kids lol
