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?

rofl

Baroqin - we clearly had mothers who were the absolute opposite of eachother! And my mum beats your mum, Yuleno - mine once bought me a pair of tartan trousers - and when we needed a pair of trousers for a senior school drama class, those were the only ones she'd let me take!! There were other fashion faux pas she inflicted on me, but that was, I think, the most traumatic!

Mine is a play on chicklit...because I'm a writer but of the blood and guts variety.

Sorry.

Excuse me? Am most unfeminine girl I know I just like the word sparkle. Apologies.

I'm normally some variation of tink ( based very closely on my real name) which is quite girly - but my current name is festive based - I think (hmm)

Are you published lit chick? I love blood and guts stories

Yes, am a crime writer.

Litchick - really?? I love your genre!

I have just namechanged (yet again)

This seems as good a place as any to try it out for the first time.

mine's normally a babe name!
I'm not a babe.
at all.

it was chosen for me when I had my first email address after i finished uni.
by my firend
:( now.

I've changed my mind, i am a baaaaabe

so nur.

my mum decorated my bedroom for years in bright pink and now I cannot bear it, bring on brown for all I care. However my name is a bit girly whirly to counterbalence non girlyness which may put other women off

Good god, I just joined this forum yesterday. I wasn't aware I would be rated so mercilessly by my username!

I reckon munkeychops rates a 7.5/10 in girliness, so hopefully I will be quasi- accepted.

Haha, disney fleeces ....

Ha ha ha!

Welcome munkeychops great username actually!

Nothing wrong with username munkeychops. Except it should be monkeychops (?)

monkeychops was taken..?

i had to change my name becuase everything i posted got either no reaction or a bad one someone even said my name was crap for no reason! people can have whatever name they want its personal identity isnt it?
must say i love some of the names on mumsnet they are genius.

litchick what books have you written , i love a good blood and guts book. i understand if you dont want to say btw
