I have a history of using 1980's cartoons for inspiration. I have moved from ByThePowerOfGreyskull (Herman) to StrumpersPlunket from Jamie and the Magic Torch. Smile

AliceLidl · 19/02/2015 00:38

I wanted something literary but with a slight twist. And I was making an Alice in Wonderland thing at the time.

DoctorShoe · 19/02/2015 01:40

I like Dr. Who.

I was looking at a shoe when I picked my username.

I also happen to be a doctor, but I wasn't really trying to get that across.

TheChickenSituation · 19/02/2015 07:21

I name change regularly, so this one doesn't really mean anything in particular.

I overheard some - radio? TV? - can't actually remember, talking about 'the chicken situation', and I just thought, well. Grin It could mean anything, really.

mrsmilkymoo · 19/02/2015 08:20

I name changed shortly after dd was born. Mrs milky moo is what I called dd when she was a real boob monster. She's usually just called Mrs Moo now!

ifgrandmahadawilly · 19/02/2015 10:27

From an expression my mother used a lot "if grandma had a willy she'd be grandad". Used when us kids were arguing about something e.g, I would say " if she hadn't taken my toy, I wouldn't have hit her' and she would respond 'and if grandma had a willy she would be grandad' meaning that 'if' is irrelevant.

I've never heard anyone but my mother use the expression and have no idea where it originally came from.

I used to be called 'chwaraeteg', which means 'fairplay' in welsh but I think I locked myself out of my account or forgot my p.w or something.

Lead character from the Mass Effect series.

DrHarleenFrancesQuinzel · 19/02/2015 12:11

Have already posted in this thread, but fancied a name change and testing it out.

Harley Quinn is Awesome, but her name has been taken with a few variants and this one wasn't.

StarlingMurmuration · 19/02/2015 13:22

I like watching starling murmurations.

MirandaWest, did you know LawrieMarlow is on here too? Pretty sure I've seen RowanMarlow too.

Stillyummy · 19/02/2015 13:29

I'm 6 months pregnant and have not given up on my appearance (yet). I don't have body issues, I just think a positive mindset and mummy that does the things she loves and looks after herself is a good roll model for my baby girl.

BarbarianMum · 19/02/2015 14:07

Mine is self-explanatory, unfortunately. I wanted to CivilisedMum but unfortunatelty my children appear to have been raised in a barn. By wolves.

ZombieJenna · 19/02/2015 14:09

I wrote a Halloween story about a girl called Jenna who ended up being turned into a zombie for a creative writing class. Popped into my head when I was trying to come up with an original nickname

AuntieDee · 19/02/2015 14:11

I work in the Blood Bank and part of my job is testing the antenatal samples and issuing Anti-D (rhophylac) to rhesus negative women.

nachohousekeeper · 19/02/2015 14:13

Mine is a play on words from a line in Sherlock. I think DD found it on Tumblr or something as part of a tribute to Una Stubbs.

I am a serial name changer as I suspect a few acquaintances are on her and I like the anonymity.

I think it will be time for a change soon. My names are usually connected to a sleb that I am having a massive crush on at the time or otherwise film/TV related.

onemiddlefinger · 19/02/2015 14:19

Mine is from this song One Little Finger that my DS loves.

SorchaN · 19/02/2015 15:07

Sorcha is one of the names I considered for my daughter (but I chose another), and the N stands for 'daughter of' (Ni in Irish).

HiImBarryScott · 19/02/2015 15:33

The Cillit Bang advert was on while I was thinking of a new name.

His name isn't Barry Scott either.
