NoNameisGoodEnough · 08/07/2025 21:47

Mine is because I couldn't find one that met Mumsnet criteria that wasn't already taken. So 'no name' had to be good enough.

PiggyPokkyFool · 08/07/2025 21:47

Mine is because of this story where I thought I had defrauded a lot of people:
The facts: Saw YouTube video about growing tomatoes from a slice of tomato, had some v tasty cherry ones from supermarket so planted 3 slices with low expectations. 3 weeks later, 54 seedlings, transferred to larger pots expecting to lose half, 52 survived - nearly all grew looking super healthy - had 49 tomato plants. Couldn't possibly use all so planted some, gave away some and had 28 tomato plants left. Got the bright idea of selling them on our local group for 50p each - sold all bar 3 which I offered some to my much older, much wiser chum and he said " Oh, no thanks as they are probably F1s so won't produce anything". Have I sold 16 people a pig in a poke? Never mind friends who think I am a great grower

My local football club was taken over and the new owner gave them my username as a nickname. The sleeping part still applies 3 seasons on Grin

ChristmasLightsLover · 08/07/2025 21:56

Mine is because I love having the lights on at Christmas. I insist that our outdoor lights go up early and stay on till February or March. . They are plain white so tres tasteful, and good for when itโ€™s miserable and dark in the winter.

CrystalSingerFan · 08/07/2025 21:57

A line from a childhood book:
"Ho ho for the robbers, the cops and the robbers, ho ho!!"

Iamanunsafebuilding · 08/07/2025 22:03

Mine is in reference to a song by The Alarm

Bridget57 · 08/07/2025 22:03

Bridget was my great grandmother who died aged only 28 of complications after losing a baby. She never got to see her only surviving child (my grandmother) grow up and probably thought she wouldn't be remembered/known about by any future family but after doing some research we all now know about and love this brave young woman. 57 is my age!

JudgeBread · 08/07/2025 22:05

I enjoy Judge Dredd and carbohydrates

SnakesAndArrows · 08/07/2025 22:07

MustBeThursday · 08/07/2025 21:32

Referencing a line said by Arthur Dent in The Hitchhikerโ€™s Guide to the Galaxy

Edited

I could never get the hang of Thursdays.

Mineโ€™s an album by my favourite band.

Walkacrossthesand · 08/07/2025 21:21

Mine is from the Leonard Cohen song โ€˜Iโ€™m your manโ€™ - I shortened โ€˜walk with me a while across the sandโ€™. Love Leonardโ€™s later stuff.

Love that song!

Rockfordpeach · 08/07/2025 22:09

I love the film A League Of Their Own

Gettingbysomehow · 08/07/2025 22:09

I've had CPTSD for years but somehow I muddle through. I'm quite proud of myself.

WearyAuldWumman · 08/07/2025 20:16

It's descriptive.

It's my favourite name.

Beitidh · 08/07/2025 22:10

Mine is Scottish Gaelic for Betty/Elizabeth. I name change a lot, some names have meaning, as this one does, others random really.

The Bowie song "Lady Grinning Soul" , but food related...
