Just curious!

Mine is because I love wine😍😅

OMG you’ve reminded me of when I saw them in concert in a student union, in the 80’s - I was picked out from the crowd & invited to the back stage party by the lead singer, but had to decline as my sister needed to catch her bus (& she was only 17 and a bit scared of them all!)
That was confined to the depths of the back of my mind until now, thanks @Sadcafe

@AnnaQuayInTheUkI got it and I love puns like that, thank you for choosing it!

This is my 4th name, from “Do no harm, Take no shit” which I wish someone had told me half a lifetime ago. Others included references to pets & books. I think I like this one best.

Great thread OP, thanks.

Can you tell us more?
(Hope it all ended well)

A line from BBC’s Ghosts

Because I used to love their jeans

edited to say: I’ve only just realised I missed the ‘D’ off river island 😩

No i can't its on here 😅

From a MN thread where an OP had an angry hedgehog in her garden with some plastic round its neck and she was trying to catch it to take it to a rescue.

I have other names, but use this one for commenting on royal affairs.

I love PD James. Brilliant writer.

Because this was how I felt when I came back to the UK after living abroad for 16 years. I've got over it now.😁

It’s from the play Jerusalem: “So what's your Red Indian spirit name then, Lee? JOHNNY. 'Bums His Smurfs.'”

Character from Hector's House

It means real or genuine in German, but exists in English in much the same way that faux does. Vaguely twatty and pretentious.

MIL used to say to my DC when they were small ‘You know what you are? You’re a funny wonder.’ I just liked the way it sounded.

Guaranteed someone will want/need a tissue so I keep a couple of the wee packets in my bag.
I have been known to offer/give tissues to sniffers in my vicinity on public transport 😂
I name change quite often though, often with my preferred music tastes in mind.

Mine's the name of a place of ill repute in the novel Fanny by Gaslight ...I just liked the way it sounded 🫣

They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain

I don’t remember by now- we came from pizza express or just had pizza for dinner.

My neighbours are twats

I am a regular name changer. It rarely has any meaning to it. This one is MN fitting though.

Well it's 'don't bring me down' not 'don't let me down'. I had to Google it, the correct word it 'groos' whatever that means, but everyone tends to sing Bruce. So you are kind of right!

I had just bought a rug from Tesco and was taken with its name 😊

Something Da Gerry said to grandda in Derry Girls. Like the sound of it, and love Derry Girls ❤️ 😍

Timothy Claypole was already taken

Mine is the poem Thomas recites to the plague victims in Ghosts.
