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

Kraggle · 19/06/2015 07:11

I was being forced to watch the Lego Movie and everytime they say Kraggle it makes me chuckle.

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 19/06/2015 07:12

I started off as EmpressOfTheSevenOceans, my favourite book, went through EmpressOf various other things and I'm currently EmpressOfJurisfiction as a reference to the Jasper Fforde Thursday Next books.

Love the Hot Fuzz one.

I have lots as I am a teacher and really don't want everything I post available if I'm outed. They are nearly always Batman or Pratchett related. I'm not mad keen on modern, gravelly, angsty Batman, more the 60s camp one Grin

And Terry Pratchett is my favourite author - such a clever man. Herrena - do you have henna hair? Grin I always wonder what would happen if Herrena had met Angua - they'd be a formidable pairing!

Modwolvesrock · 19/06/2015 07:13

I'd been re-watching The Mighty Boosh.

ihatethecold · 19/06/2015 07:14

I was cold and fed up in the middle of February when I joined.
In 9 years I've never changed my username. Never felt the need.

TheOldestCat · 19/06/2015 07:16

We adopted a 17--year -old cat from the cat shelter I volunteered at - to give her a couple of months of a comfy home before she shuffled off her mortal coil (the short term nature of the cat was the only reason DH agreed to me getting a puss). She lived for another four years! She was (adopts Clarkson voice) The Oldest Cat In The World.....

MemphisBella · 19/06/2015 07:20

Firstly I was my cat's nickname, then a childhood mispronunciation, now I'm a movie about an aeroplane.

Someone delighted me t'other day by mistyping it as MemphisBeast. Grin

Great names, especially Yarp. Mine is the name of a talking fox from the wonderful children's book Hounds of the Morrigan. Only one person has recognised it so far. I have a spare name which is from Anthony Trollope but haven't thought of a good reason to use it yet!

AtAt · 19/06/2015 07:24

Mine is Star Wars...

Balaboosta · 19/06/2015 07:26

Mine's Yiddish for matriarch of the household.

Balaboosta · 19/06/2015 07:27

Balaboosta: n. A Yiddish term meaning the perfect housewife, homemaker, wonderful mother, cook & gracious hostess.
Hmm

TheEmpressofBlandings · 19/06/2015 07:37

From P G Wodehouse. I really wanted to be Gussie Finknottle but that was already taken. I quite like being addressed as Empress too, even though the Empress of Blandings is the name of a pig.

BeaufortBelle · 19/06/2015 07:51

For Margaret Beaufort

DoctorTwo · 19/06/2015 08:00

I got bumped up from DoctorThree ans the original Two had irritable, err, owl syndrome. I had a line and everything!

AmysTiara · 19/06/2015 08:01

Big bang theory.

imonaplane · 19/06/2015 08:05

Title of one of my favourite Nirvana songs and I love flying!

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 19/06/2015 08:08

I thought I had chosen something original.
I hadn't...

ChameleonCircuit · 19/06/2015 08:11

Very clever band and the bit of the TARDIS that doesn't work, hence its stuck as an old Police Box.

StaircaseAtTheUniversity · 19/06/2015 08:18

w song from Morrissey's latest album. "Staircase at the university.... She threw herself down and her head split three ways..." Typical Morrissey understatement there Grin

StaircaseAtTheUniversity · 19/06/2015 08:19

Total link fail there

alsmutko · 19/06/2015 09:12

I'm a Star Trek fan. He (she?) is one of the production crew. With the sort of name that only Americans have. I also use another ST:NG crew name for other usernames elsewhere.

ImSoCoolNow · 19/06/2015 09:23

A very niave me joined mums net a while back with a name and number combination (the horror!)

After being very confused about the dos and donts of MN I just came right out and asked in a thread. Told my name combo was 'uncool' so I changed it. I have no imagination whatsoever and keep meaning to come up with a better one but post quite a bit under this name now so not wanting to confuse things.
