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."

Another song one here

Hephzibah I love that name. I loved Silas Marner. My NN years ago on a message board far, far away was Eppie_HC.

My NN derives from the fact that Im half Irish, half Scottish.

It's the name of the main character in my absolute favourite book of all time (The Blue Castle by Lucy Maud Montgomery - any Anne/Emily fans who haven't read it, do so pronto!) :)

I'm a witch.

Fenella Fellorick is the likkle awd laydee from chorlton and the wheelies.

I liked suavignonblanche's name as it is my favourite wine
So its wine inspired as it is my next favourite wine. I Added the in as im a cynic and don't take things too seriously

mine sounds like I may feel that I am ...... but really it is my favourite Linkin Park song title

I like pork.

Mines a major character from a huge tv show but people don't seem to recognise it and think it's an irl name.

Mine's an Eddie Izzard reference.

Used your NN sell loose meat sandwiches with her sister who the show was named after?

Mine used to be JerseySpud. Mainly because i live in Jersey and we grow spuds.

Now i am a side order of chips just because that happened to be what i was ating at the time

i joined mn after lurking forevverr when i discovered i was pregnant.

my dp is ginger and chances are my pfb will be ginger. my dp loves gingerbread men because of his gingerness and as i am from the north east i have a mam and will be a mam so there we have it!

Oops, that was for Jackieharris

Chose it when I was going through a particularly rough time with hyperemesis, and also struggling with DH sex pest issues.

The nickname seemed relevant to both issues!

BlueBananas - Am disappointed - thought you shopped at the EMO shop blue banana

My lovely ex used to call me Mrs Miggins, or Migs.

A challenge- can anyone place that ??

prop... a pie shop by any chance?

I've had a few MN names, my first was my fave but had to do a name change.
Current name is due to my love of GOT & the fact I am rather on the bolshy side...

Mine came to me in the shower one morning...no idea why (or at least, I can't remember why). Think I just liked the fact that something so mundane could be made into a fictional name.

My favourite name ever was Jesusinthecabbagevan I wish I had a name as inspired as that. I chose mine because I was putting the Allinson bread away when I signed up.

Mine's what I get or what I give when communication's gone out of the window.

Ermm, please take this gently BakerStreetSaxRift but it's riff, not rift.

I am honoured to be asked about my nickname in such talented company but do not fell worthy enough to join in.

Unescorted-- yes!.

I am a grandmother (known as Nanny) and Nanny Ogg is a character in the wonderful Discworld Books by my favourite of all time author, the late (sadly) Sir Terry Pratchett.

Easy choice.
