NCed around the time we started watching the last series of 24 and MrsBauer was taken.

Pretty boring really and now I want a new nickname!

My grammar school boyfriend and I were nicknamed Adrian and Pandora at school......hence the name

AvonCallingBarksdale · 18/02/2015 14:11

Big fan of The Wire - Avon Barksdale is a character in it, and "Avon Calling" really reminds me of my childhood and my mum being too polite not assertive enough to not buy anything from the Avon lady Grin

LatinForTelly · 18/02/2015 14:12

Sonder, I like that. I always think about that on trains, for some reason.

My others were all about how I wasn't a mum. Now we've adopted I am finally a mummy so this is my dream come true.

LatinForTelly · 18/02/2015 14:15

Mine is from a Philomena-Cunk-esque riff from a friend many years ago about the computer age. It's only funny with the full sentence, and even so, you probably had to be there.

Allstoppedup · 18/02/2015 14:16

I nc to post about my horribly embarrassing pregnancy bowel issue. Blush Then I gave birth...realised dignity was overrated and I didn't really care to change back.Grin

it also involves me logging in on the actual computer rather than my phone AND remembering passwords and I'm too lazy

theshield · 18/02/2015 14:16

Mine is named after a group of wrestlers. They were one of my favourites at the time.Until Seth Rollins turn on Roman Reigns and Dean AmbroseSad.
I know I am a saddo for liking wrestling

Bellsnwhistles · 18/02/2015 14:18

After years of depression MN has helped me to change my life. Big career change, still married, but now by choice rather than feeling trapped in it. Wanted a name that reflected my happiness and confidenceGrin.
This name to me conjures up an image of a new shiny bicycle with all the .....bells n whistles! just like meGrin

DakotaFanny · 18/02/2015 14:19

I wanted a play on words. i had just watched 'I am Sam' with Dakota Fanning and my first ever post was about sex so it seemed apt. It's a wonder anyone answered that particular post- i did get a few "troll" calls!!

ILovePud · 18/02/2015 14:20

Well I do love pud Grin I always smile at the nicknames which I recognise as connected to a book series, comedian or musician I like. My favourite name on here though is 'eatshitderek' as I always wonder who Derek is???

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 18/02/2015 14:20

Imagine coming home to find dc covered in Nutella and glitter, the cat puking in the corner, Dh doing a "very important" job that involves a shite load of mess, no food in the house and pils about to descend.
My name is what you say then.

meddie · 18/02/2015 14:20

used to use the name medusa when online gaming (originally because I was having a bad hair day) it got shortened to meddie. it just stuck

JuniperTisane · 18/02/2015 14:21

I'm soothing and fruity.

The80sweregreat · 18/02/2015 14:21

I just thought they were for me - i had a job, was happy, out all the time. Then i got married and had kids! It was a tough decade for others though. I dont think my brothers would have this as a nickname or the loads of folk that lost their jobs back then in the recession.

FarFromAnyRoad · 18/02/2015 14:23

Theme tune from 'True Detective' which I loved by The Handsome Family who are fabulous.
One that's always made me wonder is FryOneFatManic - I kind of scratch my head every time I see that and wonder what on earth could have led to that!

bubalou · 18/02/2015 14:23

My nickname was bubalou.

Not very interesting why. My middle name is Louise and a lot of people called me Lou.

Then when I was in my early teens a bubblegum came out called Bubalou that was very popular.

That became my nickname because of the 'lou' in it and even now my best friends from school still call me bubs or buba.

Fatstacks · 18/02/2015 14:25

I think Eatshitderek is a line from stepbrothers.

taxi4ballet · 18/02/2015 14:25

Mine is what I spend most of my time doing...

HumptyDumptyBumpty · 18/02/2015 14:26

I was newly pregnant when I (re) joined, and am, in the words of India Knight 'distressingly egg shaped in a swimming costume'.
