[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."

Tiggy, weird! That's exactly how my parents came up with my real name. Spooky.

Mine is named for my favourite character in the Wheel of Time series of books. In the books she is an only child but it didn't occur to me that I could actually take her name :)

Mine came from one night lurking on here and there was a lot of shenanigins going on coupled with the fact that I can't spell!

Because it's nice and sweary. And it makes Spanish speakers giggle

It means 'the fifth cunt' but with a ñ not 'ny', MN fields don't accept ñ

It's my second nn, my first was rather flaccid!

NoArmaniNoPunani - often wondered where that name came from. What does it mean?

There was a programme on channel 4 about toilet attendants who sell splashes of cologne etc in club toilets. They have little rhymes to encourage people to buy - no splash no gash, no Armani no punani. Basically if you don't buy their wares you won't pull.

From What Katy Did. (Narrator says it about Clover, a name I always wanted if I ever had a DD. I did, and it was vetoed, but we have used it for one of our lambs this season so ) My previous NN was a lesser-known Richard Scarry character. My next NN, already lined up, is also from a book I loved when I was small.

I've had a few unmemorable names, but wanted something better. Took me ages to come up with this one.

I like the film Life of Brian, but didn't want a man's name.

Game of Thrones fan but also with 3 young dc it can feel like dealing with dragons sometimes.

I got a bit obsessed with the Abbey Road live crossing cam. Hours of my life spent watching tourists cheat death.

Vulval dermatitis.. and an allergic reaction to 'something'

Erm...

I was watching nature's weirdest events with my boys and chris packham was talking about these odd little sea creatures that float on the ocean going where the wind takes them. I thought it was quite poetic and descriptive of my personality: I don't plan, I drift along whichever way life takes me so in a rare moment of reflective introspection, I became by the wind sailors.

Mine's from an Arctic Monkeys song.

My 3 year old DD was home from school and guess what she was doing...

Mine is another Pterry inspired one, can't find the quote, but there was an imagined conversation with him and Death. He looked over the side of the Disc and said "it's truly turtles all the way down"
Formerly known as ohwhatfuckeryisthis, it was an exclamation after some margarine and flour related hijinx back when DS was little.

Well are they Mypubesarestraight one can only wonder?

I'm a fan of tv show Malcolm in the Middle, Lois Wilkerson is the mum.

I used to be 'my name is Keith' as a nod to Spitting Image, but after I took up cat burgling HoneyDragon made me change it in a desperate bid to make other Mumsnetters aware that I wasn't to be trusted around their pets.

What happened to the joyful puddle jumper? I thought of her this morning as my dopey dog jumped joyfully through the puddles.

My head hair is very curly and I always assumed all of the straight haired majority had straight pubes for many years!

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis: that was one ofmy favourite NN. One of those that I wish I had thought of.

Ouchbloodyouch: ouch! . Hope all is better now!

The dwarf equivalent of sausage inna bun. With extra ketchup

elquinto I thought it was a line or character from some classy poem or something! Brilliant name! goes back to school

I was playing with the baby and a furry hippopotamus, and thought of it. It sums me up quite well. I've seen another similar name about, and don't know who got there first.

Oh cheers windsailor! Changing back after the 25th.

I have three kids. Hence my ears ring. Constantly.
