Done to death I don't doubt but Aibu. To ask

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

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

World of Warcraft reference. People keep calling me baby. It unnerves me. I might change again...

Because I reeeaallly wanna live there

Beeeh!

Mine means "contrary to the suns course" so basically in the opposite direction or contrary to reason and convention. I am sometimes deliberately contrary

It's interesting how posters shorten others names as well. Sometimes I'm Al but on one thread I got called Smut which amused a few people, partly due to the nature of the thread (lusting after musketeers).

A hoobypickypicky is a rarely understood thing that's oft on the go. That'll be me then!

Or, my kids loved the Hoobs and I like motorbikes. Hoobypickypicky is the colourful bike ridden by one of the characters in the children's series.

It's a reference to Private Eye's fictitious proprietor.

Withershins is a great name!

I'm a fairly recent name changer, and interested in Greek mythology. (Ananke is considered a powerful dictator of fate & circumstance.)

World of Warcraft. The mineral that done gave the goblins smarts.

A line from Despicable Me!

Motorway driving- especially the (IMO) very outdated speed limit.
Not that I am the type of driver to put my foot to the floor as soon as I reach a motorway though, my Mum-mobile cries if it's asked to go over 62mph

Father Ted.

Like this.

Because I do, especially the hills!

I was Inthechelseahotel after the Leonard Cohen song and became Merry one Christmas and I like it better

I name change fairly often, then almost always out myself on my own threads!

This one is because I'm completely fangirling over the release date of Fallout 4 for Xbox One.

I was drinking from a mug that had a ginger fox in a top hat print when I name changed. Very unoriginal. Also had to slot a number in somewhere

I got mine from a fairy name generator that someone linked to a while ago.

I've had a few names since I started but this one has stuck for the longest.

None, just random thing that popped into my head.

The day I signed up for mumsnet I'd called the Frenchman at work a 'jammy git' for something or other, then had to explain what it meant when he looked utterly confused. He started calling me Jammy for the rest of the shift.
In a bizarre twist, said Frenchman is now my DP.

I was watching True Blood at the time

I dowse.

From Frozen. ..

I too wanted the Lumpy space princess name but some fucker took it. I don't even think they post!

Herrena - do you have henna hair?

And sensible armour, appropriate for the practical barbarian heroine?

Mine is from one of my favourite programmes, Community.
