to wonder why so many Mumsnetters choose these words for their user names

[bibbitybobbitysantahat]

sparkle
pink
chick
babe

Its all a bit girly-whirly isn't it?

hmm say bibbity bobbity

What? Out of however many thousand females some of them like pink sparkles or refer to themselves by accepted female-indicative words?

Call in the feminists!!

Oi, whats wrong with my name

maybe they like those things? what is wrong with that we don't all have to be manly in a pair of doc martens and camoflage do we?? dont see the issue here

Ah - I thought this was going to be another c*nt thread.

ivykaty - there's an "ivykaty" on the Strictly Come Dancing boards.

There was one called Nailpolish. Memorable, at least. I don't mind the sparkly crap but I do sometimes baulk when I see the Meat / Boobs / Fuck related names.

What is your point?
I can only think in terms of glitter and kittens so please explain.

lol at ivykaty 'hmm say bibbity bobbity'

My user name used to be kittylouise. How girly is that? No fucker ever spoke to me until I changed my name.

oh no another name bashing thread, i changed my last name because it was contained "mummy" and was told that it made people think I was stupid and wear disney fleeces

My point is that I thought mebbe some 5 and 6 year olds might be in to sparkles and glitter and pink, but not all that many grown women.

I don't think anyone can complain about LadyViper - it's a bloody excellent name!

my username used to be embroideryhoneytampon, but that was a bit of a mouthful

Well there aren't many fluffys.

How about fluffyasfuck? Nicely encapsulates feminity/post-feminism/irony with 'don't mess with me'.

I was obsessed with glitter in my late teens (used to cover myself in the stuff) so that's where my name comes from. I also consider myself a feminist. Don't see any contradiction there.

I like it

Roffle at Fluffyasfuck!

how's mine?

Looking good fluffy, looking good!

Even if someone is girlywirly that isn't mutually exclusive to being interesting, witty and intelligent!

Thanks Jinglebelle!

Do you think I could do with something more fluffy

Ooh well, I have to say I think it is ladyv...

Says the OP with a Disney Cinderella name....nothing pink, glittery or girly-whirly about that.
