To ask where you got your username from?

[DontCallMePeanut]

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.

This one is because of the bees I keep. But there are more names I change into dependent on my mood, but then that would be telling, wouldn't it?

jasonthunderpants =sound like a spy
mikeoxstiff because it usually is
laughinggravey=fave laurel and Hardy film
and others because I like words and word play
geruptasingh=Indian karioki champion
dwainrooney,vladimirspukin
Bartyslartfast =from Hitchhikers guide to Galexy(slartybartfast)
Pinkflamingo=The nightclub mentioned in my fave song(say hello,wave goodbye)

Mine is after a very beautiful (dog) model; the Weimaraner FayRay. I love and adore Weims... I have one. And I have a PhD so...

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.

I used to post on another forum (pre-kids) as HippyChick, because I am a bit of an old hippy at heart and I have a giant arse am a bit curvy. That was taken here so I added the Happy cos I am!

My DSs were toddlers when I signed up to MN and all I seemed to hear, all day long, was 'Mummy do it'. I thought it might as well be my name! I do occasionally switch to InterruptingCow which is the punchline of my favourite Knock Knock joke.

mine is becuase I have a bad habit of not seeing doorlip/stone etc and end up parting company with my wheelchair and not in a ladylike fasion often yelling oh feckkkkk

Mine is after my all-time favourite TV mother, who I aspire to be just like (and usually fail :()

Nail varnish and Rouge Noir was already taken

Mine is based on where I live and what I am (according to people not from 'round these parts)

That bit in Blackadder the Third, the Dr Johnson episode.

Blackadder says to the Prince Regent "I'll be back before you can say the word antidisestablishmentarianism."

Prince Regent tries (and fails) and comes up with "MrDistinctlyMintyMonetarism".

The letter K is significant to me. I remembered kicking king from Letterland!

I've had a few names though and I just make them up, like I'll copy a phrase from the back of a cereal packet or something.

From my mum, this is what she say's especially if she hurts herself!!

Mine is a corner at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

my current 'name' is nothing to do with 'Friends', sorry to disappoint the MNer who liked because it reminded her of a character from it

it's a very childish memory, that still makes me giggle like a 6yr old...

Mum was a Brown Owl - and we thought it was fabulous that you could sing

'oh I have an Auntie,
an Auntie Monica,
and when she goes out shopping, they all say 'ooh la-la'

because her muff is swaying, her muff is swaying so..........'

i'm almost 44 now - and will never grow up

Mine's the name of a seacliff climb on Anglesey, a UK classic on my wishlist.

It's a homage to my favourite man.

aN homage.

Obviously what I'm doing when I'm on MN!

I really hate coming up with usernames for things. I probably agonised for ages before coming up with this one and it's not like it even matters... I do get a bit when I see a really good username though.

Mine is the Russian word for 'despair', which is also the title of a novel by my favourite writer, Nabokov.

It's a line from a Quentin Blake book I had just finished reading (for the 9000th time) a couple of minutes before I signed up in a desperate attempt to regain some sanity.

i like superheros i use there real names rather than who they transform into
xxx Spiderwoman

I choose mine as my names Katrina and I'm a huge Kat Von D fan.

Because my daughter is obsessed by fairies and it looks quite good fun to be one.
