I just love it. What I really want to know is where is cheery littlebottom? According to mn the name is taken but I've never seen it.
So far I have spotted
MrsTerryPratchett
NannyOgg
Greebo
IShallWearMidnight
TiffanyAching

And quite a few others I can't recall right now.
Who haven't I spotted / remembered and where is cheery?

I'm here too - though I admit to being disappointed that Evadne Cake was taken.

MissAliceBand · 15/02/2013 00:48

TolliverGroat · 15/02/2013 00:58

I think I'm going with this. I was due a NC anyway...

ZebraOwl · 15/02/2013 01:42

My name's not a Pratchett one but I do get all excited on spotting them and putting far too much thought into What Mumsnet Would Be Like On The Disc surely Mr P needs to get on that one soon?...

SoulCakeDuck · 15/02/2013 02:49

Seasonal name change for me too!

Have been WaitingforStork since ttc, took us a year and she's now 6 months old so due a change anyway i reckon.

blackcurrants · 15/02/2013 03:04

brilliant thread! I fell for my H good and proper when he said something along the lines of "you think like Granny Weatherwax, but you ARE like Nanny Ogg." . . Grin

I have never changed my name, but this thread is tempting me!

There are lots of names taken though, it took me a while with the wikipedia list of characters!

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 15/02/2013 07:58

I want a new name now!

jojane · 15/02/2013 08:02

I'm desperately trying to think of a name, might have to browse through the books later, havnt read them for years, DH has every single one as his nan always buys him them when they come out. He introduced me to them when we were students, I used to lay in bed all day reading them!

EskSmith · 15/02/2013 08:56

There are a awful lot of taken but not used discworld names
This is my favourite every character from the first ever discworld book I read. If had been wondering for years about what happened to her until she came back.

My Dd2. Is named after Granny Weatherwax :)

(Have just changed back in honour of this thread, though tbh didn't use it much)

MrsCosmopilite · 15/02/2013 09:41

I nearly went for 'Sqidapedoyt' or 'Honiaryup' - both slightly obscure references from The Truth. :)

Yanbu - you see quite a lot of them about these days!

mrsSOAK · 15/02/2013 12:57

I am only very tentatively discworld named but no-one has ever realised Sad

MrsSonky · 15/02/2013 13:18

I wanted "Visit the infidel with explanatory pamphlets" - too long

"Mrs Cake" - taken. Ysabell I love her too. You could be Ludmilla Cake.

YouTheCat · 15/02/2013 13:31

Is it bad that I spent a good half hour nagging explaining to my dd (who is 18) why I think she really needs to go to school this afternoon, despite the fact that she has bad cramps? And that I fully intend to spend this hour and a half to myself, reading I shall wear Midnight and watching Time Team. Grin

MissAliceBand · 15/02/2013 14:01

It amuses me that there are more Weatherwaxes than Oggs. It should be t'other way round surely.

I do love Nanny Ogg though - I have her cook book. It is fab.

doyouwantfrieswiththat · 15/02/2013 14:06

Bananananananana surprise anyone?

blackcurrants · 15/02/2013 14:29

Ooh I wonder if Erzulie Gogol is free. I've never name changed before. I can change back to blackcurrants if I want to, right? I've been blackcurrants on here for years now.

ApprenticeSeamstress · 15/02/2013 14:46

And me :)

Eskarina · 15/02/2013 14:54

flaggybannel · 15/02/2013 15:14
