DontCallMePeanut · 31/05/2011 06:00

Just being curious, really. We don't get too many (eg) xxFreddiesMummyxx's on here, which I have seen on other forums. And so far, not noticed any Lucy R(3104703) a la Netmums. So, would anyone like to share their name choosing stories?

Mines taken (rather unimaginatively) from a song title, Don't Call Me Peanut by Bayside.

The nightmare who lived upstairs was NN Kreecher by my DD because she looked the way he does in the Harry Potter film.
We still reminisce about what a cunt she was (although we use the word nightmare rather than cunt as DD is just 10)

TattyDevine · 31/05/2011 08:03

TattyDevine is a shop in Brick Lane (and there is one in Covent Garden) which sells quite bizarre costume jewelery.

But the actual name sort of sums up my sense of style...

Because it's camping season!

I have a tent btw.

ComradeJing · 31/05/2011 08:07

with reference to where I live (Beijing). Thought it was a little more subtle than old nn of Beijingaling. Nowt to do with politics or sexual preference (comrade is slang for gay amongst the local yooofs).

I just want everyone to know that Batman loves Robin.

He really does.

Quite often shouted at work.
Makes me quake in my boots.

Barbeasty · 31/05/2011 08:15

My DH misheard me revising for a dynamic mechanics exam when we were at university. Rather than "what is the velocity of the bar b-c?" he thought I said "what is the velocity of the Barbeasty?"

He imagined a herd of creatures, galloping across the countryside from pub to pub. It stuck.

You'll never know

NorfolkNChance · 31/05/2011 08:21

Sweary without being too overt to offend delicate eyes.

I chuffing love swearing!

5318008 · 31/05/2011 08:34

I changed mine on a thread where we were talking about names and numbers and unbelievably no one had taken this one

happystory · 31/05/2011 08:39

I name changed to relate a personal story and liked it better than the old one!

spinaltap · 31/05/2011 08:40

One of my favourite films and at the time I chose it I had just had a somewhat botched epidural so spinal taps were on my mind!

crazynanna · 31/05/2011 08:41

It is the name my grandchildren address me by Blush

Primalscream....One of my very good mates was Primal Scream's roadie for years...'till they sacked him! Grin

icooksocks · 31/05/2011 08:41

Mines a spoonerism, no idea why I chose it but I like it and it makes me chuckle

Primalscream · 31/05/2011 08:42

Great name 5318008 - I always notice you!

greencolorpack · 31/05/2011 08:42

I have a Polaroid next to the computer.

AnnaBegins · 31/05/2011 08:44

Mine's from a Counting Crows song which I've always loved

cannydoit · 31/05/2011 08:46

what scotty says is star strek, we canny do it captain, we just haven't got the power.

CheerMum · 31/05/2011 08:46

dd and I both LOVE cheerleading \o/

melikalikimaka · 31/05/2011 08:49

It's a hawaiian Christmas greeting, but people think my name is Melika! Have an Uncle that lives there, always used to send us poor British folk a wonderful staged Christmas photo of their only child and it used to say Meli kaliki Maka on the bottom of it. We (me and sis) used to take the piss!Grin

Cursingtheboobytum · 31/05/2011 08:54

A play on Crossing the Rubicon. re Caesar crossing the point of no return to take power. I crossed a point of no return when I became pregnant.

MrsDanverclone · 31/05/2011 08:55

Mine is from Jasper Fforde, one of my favourite authors. It should actually be the Mrs Danver Clones as there is more than one, but I'm in denial about my split personality traits. Grin

ConstantlyCooking · 31/05/2011 08:58

because it feels like I am!
