Big Grey's Anatomy fan here, I thinkit was Karev or Cristina who renamed the hospital my username as a nod to how many characters meet a sticky end. Made me laugh.

Many moons ago I was on a (much more parenty) parenting forum as MumOfMandB (two children with the initials M and B). It was a pain to type because of all the underscores so everyone started calling me MOMB and it stuck. It was a shit username but possibly my first forum so I didn't know any better.

Because I'm Heather Small.

Not really! Although I am moving. Hopefully.

Mine is a character from my favourite book.

plumstone · 18/02/2015 16:44

When I was born I apparently was purple like a plum, (there no other fruits that my name goes before) and then a child's book came out with the same name, the nickname has stuck - DF still calls me Plum or Toad really long story and the stone - well that is just the unrequired 14lbs that love me so much they don't want to leave me EVER!!!!!

weeblueberry · 18/02/2015 16:48

Mine isn't interesting but I genuinely only thought I'd be here for my one, initial post and then I'd bugger off so didn't give it much thought.

How. Wrong. I. Was.

Inchstonesbeatmilestones · 18/02/2015 16:52

Mines a bit soppy. My little boy had a very rare chromosome condition and he missed every developmental milestone. We got so fed up of people asking about "milestones" that we decided to measure what he could achieve in inchstones. Minor things to others such as sitting up, but major to use. These achievements deserved a stone....... And so began inch stones be at milestones Grin

steppeinginto2015 · 18/02/2015 16:54

oh inch, that really made me well up.

Yah for inchstones!

ButterflySandwich · 18/02/2015 16:57

My name is taken from a quote in The Tale of Jeremy Fisher by Beatrix Potter. It's a lovely little story about a frog and when he ate his lunch, it was a Butterfly Sandwich. The story reminds me of days gone by with my Granny, who used to have all the Beatrix Potter children's books in a little cabinet in the spare room for us to read. My Mum gave them to a charity shop when my Granny died. I wish she'd kept them, they were first edition.

ChampagneTastes · 18/02/2015 16:59

I used to be CabbageLooking (as in "not as green as I am...") but someone else had a brassica based name that sounded similar so I thought I'd get something that truly reflected my outlook, if not my actual financial circumstances.

FastWindow · 18/02/2015 17:01

I know why but I love jesusinthecabbagevan

MyIronLung · 18/02/2015 17:03

Mine's a Radiohead song. (I'd sell my soul or one of the kids for tickets to see them live Grin )

TheListingAttic · 18/02/2015 17:05

Mine's the title of a spoof (parody? terrifying?) children's book by Edward Gorey. I wanted to be TheGashleyCrumbTiny, but some fucker who never seems to post had taken it! I mostly picked it to see if anyone would get the reference.... (Isadora Quagmire, it might be your kind of sense of humour!)

o0 · 18/02/2015 17:06

Mine is eyes doing an OH REALLY face. Well, in my head that's what it is. Grin

Luciferbox · 18/02/2015 17:11

A character in a book

Sallystyle · 18/02/2015 17:13

I like U2

If it wasn't obvious enough.

Edge is not my favourite but I was trying to get my user name to say IwilltakeU2TheEdge. It was too long so I left it as it is now.

Cacofonix · 18/02/2015 17:15

The bard from Asterix books was called Cacofonix. He couldn't sing. I am not that bad a singer, though.

I have 5madthings aka children.

slippermaiden · 18/02/2015 17:25

I took my slippers on a horseriding holiday when I was about 14, one of the other girls thought it was funny and called me slipper maiden. No one else knows this nickname for me!
