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.

When ds was a toddler, sometimes we'd have a little "argument" as you do with a 2yr old, well, he'll go of in a strop, and sit by himself, behind the door, in the shed etc, I"d go up to him to make up and say "kiss for mummy" to which you've guessed, he"ll say "no kissy mummy!" waving one finger, "No kissy " Smile

This isn't my usual MN name but I use it when I don't want to be identified..

It was what my cunting darling ex used to call me when we argued..

I've been through loads! This one is because I went through a phase of saying everything's on a continuum, boring really!

MissPenteuth · 31/05/2011 14:28

Grin icooksocks I hadn't realised your nn was a spoonerism.

CailinBainne · 31/05/2011 14:29

Off the "speak Irish" Carlsberg advert.... the bit at the end where he says "Cíunas bothar cailin bainne" (quiet road milk girl)

I'm not Irish, just live in Ireland

candr · 31/05/2011 14:32

mine and DH initials, C (me) and R(him), I am rubbish at remembering pins and passwords so kept it simple

LadyPeterWimsey · 31/05/2011 14:36

Because I fell in love with an imaginary character as a teenager, and it's never worn off.

JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns · 31/05/2011 14:56

Jj is ds nickname and bean is what dd was nicknamed when I was pregnant and since she is still a petite little thing its stuck, she's now 2. Unicorns is a tsa thing....

Goodynuff · 31/05/2011 15:03

Because I am Grin
For a long time I had perfectionist tendencies, which lead to bad choices and high stress. No more of that shit!

rumpleteaser · 31/05/2011 15:04

I like Cats.

pettyprudence · 31/05/2011 15:16

my cat is called prudence and she is very horrible petty. I was looking at her when I needed a username for another site.

doley · 31/05/2011 15:28

Mine is a nickname from real life :)

My sister gave it to me ,it is actually much longer !

ThePathanKhansWoman · 31/05/2011 15:30

What dh used to call me before we married, really pissed me off at the time, quite like it now.

Also use mummissinghermind which sums me up rather better tbh.

PinotGrigiosKittens · 31/05/2011 15:30

Mine was PinotGrigioBlush because I am quite partial to the wonderful world of Wine, then I changed Blush to Kittens as they have taken over my world and their thread has made me feel so at home on MN, they deserved a proper credit :)

I've been a couple of other names but none that anyone would recall.

alexpolismum · 31/05/2011 15:35

Mine refers to my location and my own names at the same time

ThePathanKhansWoman · 31/05/2011 15:40

Ha! alexpolismum so glad you've posted.I've often seen your name and wondered if you were a Scottish police woman.My imagination runs riot here.

CinnabarRed · 31/05/2011 15:40

I named myself after my first yacht Blush.

I wanted Cinnabar, but it was already taken (and whoever registered it hasn't used it for a single post, goddammit!)

Justfeckingdoit · 31/05/2011 15:43

Mine is something of a catch phrase of mine (though in RL use fucking not fecking)

It is a tounge in cheek reference to my laid back management style.

alexpolismum · 31/05/2011 15:47

alexpolis= alexandroupolis

My own names I'll leave you to work out for yourself Smile

(incidentally, I'm of Cornish/Welsh origins, so not quite Scottish!)

CurlyBoy · 31/05/2011 16:49

Simple. I'm a boy and I have curly hair. It's also what my wife calls me.

LifeIsButtercream · 31/05/2011 16:52

Think 'merrily merrily merrily'.......

When the Hindenburg airship exploded live on air commentator Hubert Morrison said 'Oh, the humanity'. It's one of those catchphrases that got corrupted by the internet and just seemed suitable somehow.
