to skim over posts by NEW MNers with bland names?

[MardyBra]

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.

Plus, MN did that to me, I reckon. Look look! just look at the time I'm posting and wasting money on amazon because of that effing toy thread

But how do you know what's behind my name? You don't know if my real name is Penelope, or if I was indeed born in 1980. And, how I came up with that name and year if not. Perhaps it is a subtle reference to a historical event that you don't know about? Or a shout-out to some pop culture that you don't appreciate?

It is up to you to decide whether or not you are above reading posts of people based on a user name. It would be wise to not judge a book by it's cover, but again, it is a free world so read or don't read.

Is my real name Kitty Fane?

I like TheDoctorsWife46 as I'm a fellow fan. Some numbers are more than acceptable.

YABU

101. Yep, I know. Was in a right mardy mood yesterday.

How are you today Mardy? All sweetness and fluffy bunnies?

Have name changed (from shmoz) in honour of this thread.

Yeah right. I'm just like Snow White. In fact, I'm hoping small woodland creatures are doing my domestic chores as we speak.

The little feckers are always doing that Beer.

Mind you the ferret makes an excellent loo brush.

There is a tendency for the fluffy number names to conform to type though.

Just sayin

scottishmummy scares me....

et moi!

But if a scottishmummy71xxx turned up on MN, the real scottishmummy would have her for breakfast

I don't think my name is cool enough, I'm crap at thinking up names. Have had a few but none were too fluffy I don't think. I've stuck with this one for a while as I can't think of anything else.

That's true, OTH. I'd like to see a scottishmummy-off whilst cowering behind the sofa

The name of scottishmummy proves that the op is talking out of her arse

In fact, I suggest a new name for the op>

ArsyBra. or Rzebra.

Arf at scottishmummy-off

I said in the Op there are notable exceptions. And I said up thread Scottishmummy was one of them. And I've also stated IABU. What more do you lot want - blood?
