Mine is ancient. I've been Germgirl for about 20 years. I'm a microbiologist and used to chat online to some US soldiers stationed in Korea. One day I logged on to the IRC chat thingy & one of them said 'oh here's the germgirl'. I've used it ever since.

HelenThatsHisWilly · 18/02/2015 13:50

I change my name quite regularly. My latest one has a bit of a story behind it. My dog was lying on the floor and my rather dizzy best friend (who has owned male dogs all of her life and knows a lot about them) asked what was resting on his leg Confused. My username was my surprised response! Grin

EpicBlue · 18/02/2015 13:50

I decorated the lounge and DS said "that blue is epic", I had decided to name change and so EpicBlue was the choice.

NerrSnerr · 18/02/2015 13:50

Mine is about the weather in East Yorkshire.

OnIlkleyMoorBahTwat · 18/02/2015 13:50

A play on a folk song about a local beauty spot because I think my county is one of the best places to live in the UK certainly much better than London and the South East.

I would be interested to know how well known it is outside Yorkshire.

So Stealth, are you going to say what your's means Smile.

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

ProfessorProfessorson · 18/02/2015 13:51

Mine is from Community. Professor Professorson is a made-up professor who actually does exist. OR DOES HE??? Dun dun dun!

(I am actually neither a professor nor a he)

PickledinGin · 18/02/2015 13:52

Self explanatory really. Or it would be if I could mange to put my coffee down long enough to make a gin

KikitheKitKat · 18/02/2015 13:54

I mistakenly thought there was a cat in Hector's House called Kiki. Turns out Kiki was a frog. Then I tried to to an Easter name-change and never bothered to change it back.

KikitheKitKat · 18/02/2015 13:56

I assume AF just thought 'no-one knows me, I could be any fucker on here'. I may be UNDERthinking it though!

chickensaresafehere · 18/02/2015 13:56

My favourite holiday destination is Key West,where chickens freely roam the streets & to intentionally harm them is a crime.So there are signs around KW,which say 'Chickens are safe here'Smile

musicalendorphins2 · 18/02/2015 13:56

Felt uplifted after a concert.

Quiero · 18/02/2015 13:57

Mine means 'I want' in Spanish. It has no meaning to me, I just like the sound of it.

christmashope · 18/02/2015 13:57

Mine is pretty cheesy..
We started trying for our first baby in May time 2004 and I kept thinking in my head I hope that I am pregnant by christmas time hence the christmashope mumsnet name.. Baby 1 arrived January 2005 (early) and baby 2 arrived april 2006!

OnlyLovers · 18/02/2015 13:58

Mine's from Only Lovers Left Alive, a film I fell in love with.

I've always loved OTheHugeManatee's name on here, and ExitPursuedByABear.

AllYourBase, I know that game. It's Grin.

ourglass · 18/02/2015 13:58

Spin on hourglass - no reason really

usernameiwanted · 18/02/2015 14:00

Well usually all the good names are taken but this time I finally got the username I wanted! Grin

MirandaWest · 18/02/2015 14:00

Character from a series of books I love.

ISolemnlySwearImUptoNoGood · 18/02/2015 14:00

I think mine is pretty self explanatory. I'm a huge Potterhead and everyone who's read or watched knows the line.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 18/02/2015 14:04

I had to change my name due to being outed. It was xmas 2011, so I went for puts as in xmas puts and the year.

The naughty not naice, was an addition for xmas names in 2012. Naice, coming from naice ham. I am so lazy I never changed it back Confused

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 18/02/2015 14:04

*puds not puts, damn autocorrect!

CatsCantTwerk · 18/02/2015 14:05

I was looking for a new name and couldn't think of one till I walked in my kitchen to my ds standing the cat against the wall on his back legs whilst wiggling his bum. I said 'ds, stop it! Cats Cant Twerk'.

Then this nn was born.

(disclaimer: No cats were harmed in the making of my Username.) Grin
