[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.

Sian Massey, 'running the line' for football. I love her.

Mine used to be my ds's nickname + mom, before I knew mom names were "not the done thing".

And then we had a "Slim your name" thread on here one New Year and I liked my slimmer name, so stuck with it.

I love horses. We have a few. Preferred them to humans when I was younger. I still talk to them.

Because I wanted to be

I love this thread, i often make up "life stories" for posters i see a lot.

For instance Alexpolismum was a hardbitten Scottish detective (murdersquad of course).

Expatinscotland looks like Cate Blanchett and lives in the wilds of Scotland on a small holding, every day is a battle, but every night she looks out to sea at a lighthouse.

Fabbychic is an ex model of Cuban heritage, she lives somewhere really 'cool in London' has a little Bistro that only the In crowd know about, knows loads of famous arty/muso types but is blaze about it all.

Nullisinverbena has a cottage with a massive garden full of sweetwilliams, stocks, sweetpeas, she does the gardening in ghost/chloe all saints clothes,she has red hair like a pre-raphalite.

K999 she works for Govt. MI5, can't say more except she trained at Rada.

Oh sweet Lord and theres loads more, i need to get out more

I am trying this one out for the very first time. It is the name of my imaginary friend.

Mine is because i am a little bit obsessessed with pirates of the carribean, and i am a bacardi girl so it is a bit of a running joke between my friend and i.

Really boring really... I didn't think I was going to stick around when I first joined, and didn't want to use any old net nns, so I combined my birth month and my favourite flower.

It sounds like a slightly pretentious offering for a baby girl's name, but I'm used to it already.

self explanatory,im a scottish mummy
not a clever or funny but i couldnt be faffed trying to be witty or unique

I've had 4 names over the years... screw it am going to completely out myself :o

Name 1 - Funmum21 - Unimaginative cutesy name and my age. Had for about 5 minutes.
Name 2 - Youngbutnotdumb - One of the first threads I read was someone saying young parents are stupid.
Name 3 - Mamadiva - I have been known to suffer rediculous moodswings and throw the mother of all diva strops!
Name 4 - My current name... fancied a change and DS announced a few weeks ago that he was going in a bath to wash his willybumballs because they were sandy :o

I like to dress as a polar bear, hide round corners and startle passing shoppers

Evie is my DD, and All About Eve is my favourite film. All hail Bette Davis!

"Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy night."

SPB. I've seen your story of your name before. Very funny!

I changed my name to this from something rather boring before. I chose this name because I say it (and sing a little song with the same title) about 3,000 times per day to my students and my DS.... and DH.

Mine is a nickname of my surname and a number that I could remember when signing in (very boring). :o

Because I am being a bit unimaginative in the cooking stakes at the moment.
Not my usual name, am feeling a bit weird as am early PG.
Once we get past 12weeks I'll probably change back, with apologies to all the nice ladies I have got to know on the antenatal club thread

Ruddigore (Gilbert and Sullivan)

A character in Psychoville that I love.

Mine was originally Very Boring. I then changed it to cupcakesandbunting after another MNer suggestied that I couldn't get chavs dickheads banned from the park because they weren't cupcakes and bunting enough for me...

THEN SpringHeeledJack said that considering what an arsehole ascerbic poster I was, cupcakesandbunting was too twee for me and should be called bupcakesandcunting. And here I am!

never changed names,cant come up with another name.cant be arsed

Mine is after my pets which are eurycantha calcarata.

hattifattner

The Simpsons.

The good people on Mumsnet gave it to me.

Mine is pilfered from the surname of a young man I worked with many years ago. It suggests all the things I'm not and he was - sexy, dark-eyed, dark-haired and Mediterranean. :)
