What is the inspiration behind your user name.
Mine is my love of the sea tranquility lighthouses and of course no light house would be complete without a ghost

Deep in the green woods animals play, hopping and jumping the day away, follow the animals in their game, here we go now let's do the same.

Hop hop hop like a bunny
Hop hop hop like a bunny
Hop hop hop like a bunnneeeeeeeeey
Hop like a bunny, hop hop hop!

I have a two year old Grin

My latest one was inspired by my teen dd observing a friends dress sense and taking the piss.

My usual one was inspired by a bitch recalling how hot I had been in my younger days and how different I was now to the name they used to call me.

It inspired me to loose 2 stone in 10 weeks and tone up. I met the bitch again after the 10 weeks and her face said it all. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Brilliant.

I used to vary my user name but always kept one word to identify myself but over shared and got a pm from an acquaintance so outed.

You do need to name change really unless you are very very reticent.

Fatmomma Yes she's a horror, think theyve exaggerated the real mum, thats what's funny, shes like a cartoon character. I would never call my DC schmoopsy poo! Grin

Mine is from a Jason Mraz song:
I'm just a Curbside Prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket to come.

What I said would happen if I tried twerking.

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 19/06/2015 00:31

I'm re-reading the witch centric books at the moment. I'd forgotten just how good they are. I couldn't possibly name a favourite - or at least, if I did, it would probably change next week! I adore Sam Vimes, but I find Death deeply amusing. I could quite happily end up like Granny Weatherwax, but I'd like to raise hell with the Nac Mac Feegles too... No, there's no way I could pick the first among all those equals!

BettyCatKitten · 19/06/2015 00:32

Op, kitten is very quickly turning into teen cat and caught her first bird recently (still alive and mobile!) which she dispatched into the bookcase in the lounge. Said bird flew up the stairs and all sorts of mayhem ensued trying to catch the bird and release it! Mind you, I've had the same scenario many times before
Having said that I've got my eye on another kitten that needs a home. I only home rescue cats/kittensSmile

Denimwithdenim00 · 19/06/2015 00:35

I am so broody for a kitten.

swimmerforlife · 19/06/2015 00:35

I regularly swim, have done since I was a kid which included competitive. I am a former lifeguard too in NZ and Australia as a teen / early 20s. I will never give up swimming :)

FatSwan · 19/06/2015 00:38

I'm an ex-ballerina, now fat. Sort of an homage to Black Swan.

BettyCatKitten · 19/06/2015 00:39

Denim there are so many that need re homing it's sad.

FatSwan · 19/06/2015 00:40

I want a kitten too Envy

CharityBarnum · 19/06/2015 00:41

My DH is Michael Crawford aka Phineas Taylor Barnum.

Don't worry, Stratters, you are much more glamorous and sophisticated than Taggie with your golden hair / dress and tobacco-brown shawl. And you have a brilliant Christmas name as well Grin

Oh God Charity, my Christmas name Grin

ReginaBlitz · 19/06/2015 00:56

Not an answer to the question but..it does help if you use capitals to separate the words in user names just a thought?

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 19/06/2015 01:01

Fragment of song lyric here.

Redglitter · 19/06/2015 01:10

I didn't want to use my usual nickname which is quite unique. Was looking round the room for inspiration - none came til I lifted up my glittery red wine glass Wine

Summerisle1 · 19/06/2015 01:10

Mine's fairly obvious to anyone who also hasn't seen Rowan Morrison.

AnImpalaCalledBABY · 19/06/2015 01:19

Mine is from Supernatural

The impala in the show is driven by this fine specimen and he calls her 'baby'
