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."

Charlotte Lucas married Mr Collins because he asked and she didn't expect anyone else to. I married for those reasons, too.

More positively, she's a nice character, rather overlooked just because she's not pretty, so I've kept the name even though I've now decided that left on the shelf is a pretty good place to live.

I hate the MN mantra "did you mean to be so rude?" It's just so passive aggressive, if people have been rude just tell them so, in my book...

I also don't think "no" actually is a complete sentence

Mine is from Frozen !

Nancy Mitford book. Jassy was the one based on Decca Mitford.

Had not clocked when I changed to this that half of MN would spell it Jessy, which illogically gives me The Rage.

Catherine Tate's Nan is a great fictional character I'll have you know!

Well...worra fuckin liberty!

Because I don't need a chaperone.

Mine is a character from The League Of Gentlemen, he runs the 'Legsakhimbo theater company'

SmartAlecMetalGit I love yours and I nearly chose a red dwarf one, it was going to be 'BogBotFromHell' hahaha

We need Chaos here to advise people to capatilise correctly

I'm begging for a kicking on this thread, aren't I?

First thing l learned as a lurker was to capitalise!!

Mine is a character from a book, The Hounds of the Morrigan by Pat O'Shea which I started reading to my DD not knowing anything about it and it turned out to be wonderful. Cooroo is a fox and somehow I started using the name in various social media. Only one MNer has recognised it so far.

Enjoying reading all these posts!

Probably quite obvious, it's a song that I like the saxophone rift of!

Mine came from when some of my children were younger, aged about 5.5, 4, 3 and 2 at the time, I'd had a day from hell as all if heard all day was muuuuum,MUM, mummeeee so I in frustration I told them I'd changed my name and from now on would only answer to foo foo shuffle wick banana pants the third...

I had a good two hours of relative peace

Because I wish I was .

Mines dead boring. I didn't want to use either of the other names I use online they're quite unusual and I thought they'd out me

I was having a glass of wine looking for inspiration. my wine was in one of my new glittery red wine glasses

Mine is because I cook everything (and I do mean everything) in a slow cooker.

I live in Suffolk and my name is best when said fast.

I live in Al Rayyan and we have a street called YANBU Street. Honestly.

Mine is from Orange is the new black.

Piper is the main character then I like Terry's chocolate.

It's from a Philips Larkin poem- he describes work as a toad.

DH decided that the Maenad in TrueBlood reminded him of me. God knows why. Also, I'm Welsh.

I was having brain block and couldn't think of anything. I'm a Scorpio and I believe I was having a conversation at the time with one of my dds about our mutual love for mermaids
