Inspired by electricflyzapper. I am compleatly envious of some of your usernames! I wish I was creative enough to think of one that good. Am I the only person who gets this? Is it unreasonable? If you also suffer username inferiority complex, whose username do you covert?

I tend to get flummoxed by seasonal name changes sometimes, for example this is the first year that I'll have to think of new names for this username during Halloween & Christmas etc

TimeToMuskUp · 18/09/2015 17:33

I like the straight to the point ones; anyfucker, eatshitderek, fuckyouchrisandthathorse also anything containing profanity.

JennyTails · 18/09/2015 17:35

I think SirChenjin is genius!

Mitzi50 · 18/09/2015 17:43

I particularly like fuckyouchrisandthathorse - but wonder who is Chris and what have s/he and the horse done that is so upsetting. Why does Derek need to eat shit?

Fatmomma99 · 18/09/2015 17:47

I like your username Stillyummy, and I'm sure you are! Smile

(when I told my DM what my username was on here, she was really upset and asked me to change it!)

Fatmomma99 · 18/09/2015 17:48

I also like all the Terry Pratchett references.

Eatshitderek is a reference to the film StepBrothers.

I have no idea about FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse but it's one of my favourites too.

Someone told me a few days ago that my name 'doesn't endear me to them'. What a fucking shame, eh?

LilacSpunkMonkey · 18/09/2015 17:53

Also, HoneyDragon bequeathed me with this moniker (kind of, I chose it to wind her up - it did Grin).

Sunshineandsilverbirch · 18/09/2015 17:55

I'm a serial name changer so my problem is usually just thinking up something new every month or so, without it having to be witty too.

I do quite like it when I see a favourite book character though, especially if it's quite subtle.

I have envy of the clever pun ones, mainly because I'm just not clever enough to think of one.

SirChenJin took me months to work out.

Having said that, I'm pretty attached to my username Smile

Wankarella · 18/09/2015 17:56

I name change often too, I'm running out of ideas now tbh! Your name is fine OP Grin

MartyrStewart · 18/09/2015 17:57

I Love FuckyouChrisandthathorse, would love to know the origin.

Callaird · 18/09/2015 17:58

I have just got SirChenJin! God I feel stupid!

FayKorgasm · 18/09/2015 17:59

GobblersKnob makes me laugh every time I see the user name. I am immature obviously.

OrangeSquashTallGlass · 18/09/2015 18:00

I love a name change myself.

Fuckyouchrisandthathorse is a story you can read in classics.

I thought eatshitderek was from the OP who had two snails... one of them was called Derek and he was a dick... have I completely imagined that? or do I spend too much time on MN?

Cerseithequeen · 18/09/2015 18:01

SirChenJin is genius but then again...I like most of yours!

MyGastIsFlabbered · 18/09/2015 18:02

I know you're all envious of mine Hmm

WeirdCatLadySaysFuckOffJeffrey · 18/09/2015 18:02

I love OhTheHugeManatee and wish I'd thought of it.

I've had the same name for ages but recently added an extra bit Grin

elQuintoConyo · 18/09/2015 18:06

FuckoffBarbara is also a good'un (iirc).

BoreofWhabylon, DixieNormas, CatThiefKeith, TripTrapTripTrapOvertheBridge (albeit a bit long Grin ).

Mine means The Fifth Cunt (= the middle of nowhere).

InTheBox · 18/09/2015 18:06

Can someone explain SirChenjin please?

I quite like FuckYouChris... and also DownWithThisTypeOfThing

AWombWithoutAFoof · 18/09/2015 18:06

I'm a serial name changer too. I loved the horse story, but can't remember where Chris came from. Can someone enlighten me so I don't spend the rest of my natural life the evening embroiled in Classics?

TimeToMuskUp · 18/09/2015 18:07

Search Engine...Sir ChenJin

SunnyNights · 18/09/2015 18:07

I don't get SirChenJin Blush
