Names like Gemma82 or yummymummy1.

There's so much choice. Obviously I'm a sucker for a bad pun. But I love the variety of names on here - great song lyrics, obscure references that I feel compelled to go off and google (and never google again in the case of dragon butter), bizarre word combinations and so on.

There are some notable exceptions but normally I make an assumption that if a poster can't think of an interesting name then they won't have anything interesting to say.

Every now and then I feel the need to change to a name that's a bit.. well.. "harder" but it never feels like me.

I am Fo0ffyShmoofer and if it's too sweet and cuddly wuddly then so be it. Ignore at will.

Oh and it's bugger all to do with vagunas.

usernamenotavailabe - is a brilliant name.

Tbh, I don't take that much notice of names - I read the post first and if I like what I'm reading I'll take a look. It's not often a name sticks in my head though - unless the poster is stratospherically awesome. [rare]

There was a poster who turned up a few weeks ago who really made me laugh - but she's disappeared.

I like your name fooffy (But then I did assume it had a vaginal context wrapped up in the cuddliwuddlieness).

Poor Foooffster. SHE IS NOT A VAGINA.

As you were.

OTheHugeRaveningWolef · 31/08/2011 12:11

Sorry foofy but am in hysterics at 'vaguna'. Is that a new type of Renault people carrier?

MardyBra · 31/08/2011 12:12

giyadas - have always been intrigued by your name. Which is a good thing imho.

I hope my nn is not too boring, not that anyone would recognise me anyway!

MardyBra · 31/08/2011 12:12

OTheHuge - genuine lol.

MardyBra · 31/08/2011 12:13

UmYeah - assumed you were a parody (Vicky Pollard style).

Fo0ffyShmoofer · 31/08/2011 12:15

HahahahahahahaGrin ha.The new Renualt Vaguna. Room for 7 and a small dog.

Someone did once think I was alluding to "self love" with my user name. IT IS NOT.

UmYeahLikeTotally · 31/08/2011 12:18

Oooooooh my god Mardy I can't believe you just said thaaaaat!

MardyCunt · 31/08/2011 12:19

'Twas meant in an admiring way (honest)

Hoto · 31/08/2011 12:20

my name means NOTHING hahahaaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa I shall not be categorised

OTheHugeRaveningWolef · 31/08/2011 12:20

I'm thinking the Renault Vaguna belongs on that other thread, as a sign that you've had too many children...?

QuintessentialShadow · 31/08/2011 12:21

Just to point out the obvious, it is truly like judging a book by its cover.

UmYeahLikeTotally · 31/08/2011 12:23

Haha! It's fine, I won't give you beatin's :)

giyadas · 31/08/2011 12:24

I'm sure I've got a Vaguna Coil cd somewhere

LadyBeagleEyes · 31/08/2011 12:25

I picked my name after my dog. It was Bigbeagleeyes and then changed to Lady for the Royal Wedding.
It could have been lovelyflopsyears or whosgotabigblacknose or even alfiewalfiewoodle.
But I thought they were too cutesy.

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 31/08/2011 12:26

OTH you're on fire today :o

MrsPlesWearsAFez · 31/08/2011 12:27

It's lacuna coil isn't it?

They should rebrand to vaguna coil... though that sounds like some form of contraceptive
