[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.

Got mine from my parents!

Hmmm...let me think...

My DS snuffled me when he was first laid on my chest, he's nearly 12 weeks now and still snuffles into me when he wants a cuddle. And turtle because when he purses his mouth he looks like a little turtle, and it was the first thing DH said when he saw him! The number part should be obvious!

My favourite character from my favourite book <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=4.bp.blogspot.com/_el0B2jjUqi0/SW4cjxHY2gI/AAAAAAAAAhI/LISn4Ob9r28/s400/tipping%2Bthe%2Bvelvet.jpg&imgrefurl=ls-lesbianmovies-gr.blogspot.com/2009/01/tipping-velvet-2002-drama-uk-177-min-3.html&usg=__QNIXoI6A0-iSGZclRrWvNouYtxk=&h=400&w=226&sz=29&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=GAsdZRGkHZEIWM:&tbnh=148&tbnw=103&ei=H13lTabXCtGbhQfOtITtBw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dnancy%2Bastley%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1680%26bih%3D935%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=1445&vpy=40&dur=778&hovh=299&hovw=169&tx=132&ty=136&page=1&ndsp=45&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0&biw=1680&bih=935" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tipping The Velvet

Brilliant book

My Dad's nickname for me years ago when he wanted me to do something for his horses, feeding, mucking out etc. 'Oh you're a wee horsey girl, you could just....' whatever. I haven't ridden for about 20 years but it reminds me of my Dad calling me Wee Horsey Girl! Hope to have my own wee horsey girl or boy some day too. xx

A Tom Petty song title

it was my dads nickname for me

Used to be Aniyan which comes from Sanskrit 'Anor aniyan' meaning 'the smallest of the small' because I'm a shortarse and Aniyan is a bit like my real name.
Now I'm named after one of my favourite literary characters - from Elizabeth Jane Howard's Cazalet Chronicles.

My six year old ds2 made this name up for his Club Penguin account. I thought it was very 'zen' and nicked it to use on here.

In honour of my little lad, because thats what little boys are made of! :)

I got it from a S&B thread about how often we wash our jeans (we know how to live on S&B) One MN said (I paraphrase) pants to washing them, just give them a blast of febreeze. It made me grin.

It's the shortening of the county I live in. Lack of imagination, me? never!

My current name, I was eating a two fingered one and was thinking "I wish this were a ... instead" !

Mine is the second line from the song "Carn't help loving that man of mine", from the film 'Show Boat'. I don't care how old it is, i love everthing about the film, especially Ava Gardner (who sings it).

I LOVE HIM. Sometimes wonder if it isn't very feminist.

Mine's an acronym of my DD's names (first 2-3 letters of each of their names anyway)

DontCallMePeanut I'm so glad to know the meaning of your name - I've often wondered if you may be someone else I know on MN that has 'peanut' in their name and whose name subsequently gets shortened to Peanut. I thought she may have been trying to tell us something :)

I always read these threads hoping to see how ThatWillDoPig (or Thatlldopig) got her name. I had that name on another forum, which is a phrase from Babe and, for me, summed up how I felt after having my last child. It was a kind of "Good job, well done, that's enough now". Am wondering if MN ThatWillDoPig had the same sort of meaning behind her name.

Ooh, I rather like the thought of being a detective! I bet they get paid better than me, too!

I always thought of expatinscotland as being tanned, perhaps with a Hispanic look, wearing a long scarf battling the wind outside a grey stone house in a Scottish village.

He he alexpolis glad i'm not the only one who indulges in flights of fancy!

Haha, glad I could help, Mishtabel...

I was thinking Thatwilldopig (sorry if that's not the correct spelling) was a reference to Babe? (Dick King-Smith children's story/film about a pig that herded sheep) So, I do suspect she's another fan of the book/film. I can't remember if Farmer Hoggett said it in the damn book, for the life of me...

Teenytiny.....Just really cos im really short in height lol

Ohh, btw, if anyone is interested, It's a sad one, but the best one's are...

I gave birth to a baby panda.

Well done, MotherPanda! That's impressive stuff

AnnaBegins my first MN NN was ALongDecember
