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

sparkle
pink
chick
babe

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

Oh that was so funny, James! Sssh, quick, Bibs is coming.

I shall PM my answer to that

Yep, go pm yourselves in a frenzy of sparkles for all I care.

Bibs can't I interest you in a little sparkle? It's lovely stuff!

We are girls, hadn't you noticed?

I had never thought of myself as girly. I wanted to be chickpea because I was eating hummous at the time, but found there was one already. Wasn't feeling very imaginative [embarrassed]

I am naked and entirely covered in glittering love dust.

Who changed their name to sparklepinkchickbabe? I just tried and had been beaten to it.

Disappointed that you have not linked an image Hully dear.

this was still available...

as was this

I chose mine over on another board nearly six years ago when I was drunk.

i love girly

This IS my usual posting name, I didn't even need to change for this thread, usually shimmerysilverglitter. I called myself this because back in the eighties I was given some gorgeous make up glitter in a glass jar for one of my birthdays. My younger sister promptly dropped it on the floor and smashed it and my Mum refused to buy me another one because I apparently never looked after my things! So unfair!

I was pink and sparkle deprived as a child - my mum disliked both, so there was practically no pink sparkliness in our house - hence my love for pink and sparkly now!

Wonders when SparklyFucker will happen along?

I like pink sparkly stuff, I also like gaming and kick boxing, no need to choose.

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

hahahahahah!

Hello James, hello Hully, hello Mimi hello sky!

bibbity what did you do during your MN break?

I have been buying "pink" where I can in the last year or so.

Had pink and pretty forced on me until I was about 12. And then once I got my hands on a pair of jeans rebelled. Until I hit 30 and then decided to embrace it all again

whats wrong with liking pink and sprakley things.

does it make you less intelligent?

I've never really noticed any of these names....

When I was 4 my mother dressed me in a brown velour tracksuit.

I will never forgive her.
