Oh, I like that, it's quite catchy! NC coming up...

THEMardy · 03/10/2012 16:21

I tend to agree but as long as they are shortenable I don't mind too much. It's probably due to the fact that all the short snappy names have been taken.

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 03/10/2012 16:22

Yes, that's the problem. Short ones are often taken

ClippedPhoenix · 03/10/2012 16:23

Be like me then and don't really take any notice have a head like a sieve.

If replying to someone other than the OP I usually take it upon myself and shorten it for them Grin

Mines a bit long because of my children's cancer colours. I'm trying to think of a snappier Halloween one.

SPsFanjoLovesItGangnamStyle · 03/10/2012 16:26

I don't know what you mean

Startailoforangeandgold · 03/10/2012 16:27

Oh bugger the best one I can think of is even longerBlush

SPsFanjoLovesItGangnamStyle · 03/10/2012 16:31

My names just seem to get longer and longer. I get shortened to SPsFanjo which makes some comments quite funny in a very immature way Grin

ViviPru · 03/10/2012 16:35

I got in a shortening pickle with you on one thread, SPs. I think I quoted you and the OP was like "what's an SP?" and it all got a bit crossed purposes and befuddled....

SPsFanjoLovesItGangnamStyle · 03/10/2012 16:39

SP are the initials from my first name on MN. I kept sp so I was recognised.

maytheoddsbeeverinyourfavour · 03/10/2012 16:40

I have had shorter ones but I'm quite fond of this one now Blush

No one ever quote me or mentions me though so it doesn't matter Grin

MumsGoToReykjavik · 03/10/2012 16:48

I've had shorter ones but I nc a lot and I never say anything worth quoting anyway!

ErrorError · 03/10/2012 17:02

Isn't it worse when someone repeats the same word twice in their username, so when you quote them it looks like you're using the particular word out of context? Wink
