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.

I'm so sorry for your loss, bemybebe.

Tiredmumno1 · 31/08/2011 12:56

Maybe i should get myself a second name, i wonder if boringbitch would catch attention Grin

Oakmaiden · 31/08/2011 12:56

I've been using the name Oakmaiden for such a long time now - since I had my very first email address, which was [email protected] as I recall - back in around 1996 I think.... My husband had the email address oakknight.

Really I ought to change it - not such a "maiden" anymore - maybe I should be "Oakhag" or something instead....

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 31/08/2011 12:56

ScrambledSmegs - awesome RD reference. Great name although I wonder if you know what smeg actually is..?

ScrambledSmegs · 31/08/2011 12:58

Yes, I definitely do! Was originally going to be SmegOnMyFace until DH pointed out what that would mean...

MardyBra · 31/08/2011 12:59

Tiredmum - stick with it. People know who you are.

I name change every few months, so after several years on here, I seem to have lost the capacity for interesting names. I need to name change when I actually think of a good name, because under pressure, I just can't perform Grin

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 31/08/2011 13:12

GreenSmegsandNiceHam?

Oh wait?

JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns · 31/08/2011 13:21

I have a boring name. I've been here years and years, just lurk for long periods, then post lots, then lurk again

Fo0ffyShmoofer · 31/08/2011 13:24

JJand the Bean - I love your name. When I read it it has a psychadelic swirly trippy background Smile
