To ask you about the inspiration or meaning behind your nickname?

[TheHumblePotato]

Not necessarily an aibu but it's Sunday, ergo fun day...

Over the years I've had many NNs which either described the situation I was in or a favourite quote from a book or film.

What's yours? And who has the best NN? (Hopes FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse turns up). My current NN came from a very trivial discussion I had with my friend over what I was making her for dinner and she said "You're making potatoes! Just fucking potatoes!?" And I replied with "Well yes, please appreciate the humble potato."

I REALLY need more sleep

Mine is because I aspire to be like Catherine Tate's nan, when I'm old

EatShitDerek has the best NN I think.

my lovely stepdad gave me mine when I got pregnant with DS1 and I've been known as it since (DS1 became little fatty)

My name really is Hephzibah.

I do love Eatshitderek

mine is long winded and dull - something to do with Gordon Ramsey and sheeple - but then it was halloween ...

I'm just really unimaginative (and don't really care if i get recognised as I never say anything I shouldn't).

High five Hephzibah!

I really like Toots & the Maytals.

As above really! If I could change that one thing about myself, I could get a lot more done. Something to look forward to in old age.

I love the film Beaches and have visited Crystal Cove State Park in California where some of it was filmed.

I'm on the autistic spectrum and proud of it.

Mine is a bit of something l used to say to my daughter when she was a tiny baby.

From a cute sing - song - y type thing!

Mine is from a song
If anyone knows it I will be surprised!

I've always read your NN as Proud as

Mines quite self explanatory.
I would like to be Mrs DB and am now available for him.
Just that rather gorgeous wife of his in the way.

Mine is a Terry Pratchett Character. Her size is small but her hat and bag are extra large!!

I am rubbish at picking nicknames and they are usually Mrs something like favourite toys I had growing up. I change my name quite often and meerkats are like little toys I think .. so cute. Though I love sloths too. Maybe next time.

I joined MN just as my marriage broke down, I moved counties to a city I'd been to 3 or 4 times and I didn't know a single person, started my first nursing job and felt like my life was in complete turmoil. My name is the direction I moved, and represents the fresh start I made in order to be happy.

I've been here since 2003 with hundreds of different name, current one is breaking bad inspired!

It was snowing in some parts of the country when I made mine, but there was no snow where I live.

Mine's a character from Final Fantasy 7, my NNs are always video game character names. Don't know why!

I am named after the wife of the Emperor Augustus who was an amazing woman in her own right and, after watching I Claudius I was inspired!

I was newly singe and out on the dating scene for the first time in 20 years so I was a bit out of practice

I went blank trying to think of something funny or interesting, and was listening to a wonderful Margaret Atwood audiobook at the time, so just called myself something reflecting that. If I ever name change, I think I'll go for another author as my inspiration.

I love all the different nicknames on mumsnet.
