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

I've changed names recently and this one is inspired by the moment I realised I'd changed how I had responded to DD because of Bing Bunny's father!
Yup - I parent in the manner of cartoon characters!

RackofPeas that's brilliant!

Mine is a sentence from a book at university all about sentence structure. I don't know why but I just like the way the words sound together. I would never choose to have coffee and oranges together I just like the balance of the words. Don't know why it popped into my head 16 years later when trying to think of a random, non-identifiable name!

I'm sure I'll change it at some point but I've only been here about a month so hopefully haven't totally outed myself just yet!

Great name, PanGalacticGargleBlaster.

barrow: i am in Glasgow. Let's get a drink sometime!

My name was a last second unimaginative change from something more distinct I use elsewhere, didnt want to be found by simple google search. I have a big gap between child 2 and 3, so, Mom Again. Which had been used so I stuck a number 1 on there.

I meant to only use it long enough to learn my way around, and then change to something more interesting. But I can't remember my password. Anyone else sometimes wonder if you already have an account when your choice comes up as already existing?

I was a particularly chilly egg that day

A couple of weekends ago, l tried some Morrisons own brand Bombay mix. my name is my experience.

"Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind."

Terry Pratchett again.

I name change regularly - inspiration for this name was simply a purchase I made the day I changed it.

stacklady I wanted your name - it was you wot had it :)

Can't get too dis chuffed, there's LOADS of magnificent names in discworld, I couldn't believe I bagged this one.

Gutted someone else beat me to the rat onna stick offered by herenna

< quite fancy sticky toffee rat onna stick>

my sons called max and he has nice toes

Because were it not for DH I'd aim to misbehave with Nathan Fillion .... A LOT!

Self explanatory ( I have a big fat bottom, would like it to be smaller and less fat but I like eating crisps too much)

Because DC claim I say it all the time!

My name comes from a fictional children's radio programme, invented on the spot by Graeme Garden on 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue'.

Another Terry Pratchett inspired one here. If I feel the need to change my name, I keep it TP based.

What a charming Scouse woman called me after asking ''who the fuck did I think I was looking at'' when she was being dragged out of a nightclub.

Because I love the sea and the colour blue. Whenever we are talking about weekends away or holidays my choice is always by the sea. I can sit for hours just looking at the sea.

I named changed and my pyjamas at the time were white cotton summer ones with little purple flamingos on.

I have TWO Terry Pratchett names for name changes

Thank you editthis!

Mine is a character from Ben & Holly, DD's favourite programme. I think we were watching at the time of my most recent name change. I tried other characters' names first, but they were all taken already, so I settled on Violet instead

I have been here about 6 or 7 years and had various names, none of which have been special or significant at all. Occasionally a temporary name is related to a particular thread if I have NC for something identifying/embarrassing. I am usually phantomnamechanger but the capitals were put in as a festive name last hallowe'en and I have never changed them back again!!!!

My eldest couldn't say helicopter and would say wheeltcote instead...he was shouting wheelycote when I was trying to come up with a username

From one of my favourite childhood books.

I believe the correct word for anticlockwise is 'widdershins'

It's a deliberate misspelling of irritating.
