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?

IveGotTightsOlderThanYouLove

On Property once, I had a reply to a query about loo seats from SanFairyAnne which I thought excellent for a poster who clearly enjoys getting to the bottom of plumbing matters.

cressetmama · 21/09/2015 13:34

Obviously, also a clever Francophone homonym as well!

MaisieDotes · 21/09/2015 14:00

I don't get it cresset

Something faire rien ?

cressetmama · 21/09/2015 14:56

Ca ne fait rien... it doesn't matter, or meaningless (apology for the lack of the cedilla)

MaisieDotes · 21/09/2015 15:06

Ahh... thanks Smile

Thanks Mrs

I love the names that reference favourite books, films and TV programmes. Plus the amazingly funny punny ones and play one words ones.

I love all the ones already mentioned. One of the ones that hasn't yet is ShatnersBassoon.

CoffeeAndOranges · 22/09/2015 09:15

I like the simplicity of fattymcfatfat

00100001 · 22/09/2015 09:39

YY to Fatty!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 22/09/2015 10:02

Ooh yes, ShatnersBassoon is just so blooming lovely to say. Like sinking into mud barefoot :)

jorahmormont · 22/09/2015 10:05

EverythingShiny I love your username!! DD was nearly Kaylee in honour of Firefly Grin

NegativeIron · 22/09/2015 22:21

I'm very fond of OYouBadBadKitten, which seems to me to get a brilliant tone across and always makes me laugh.

Cogito's variations have the same effect.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 22/09/2015 22:45

I also like TondelayoSchwarzkopf. Has a nice ring to it. Like TitsalinaBumsquash.

I like clever ones based on TBBT too. TheSecondMrsHowardWolowitz was genius.

Tirfarthoinn · 23/09/2015 07:27

There was someone called VelosaraporLivesUpstairs I liked that name, also TheLyingWitchinTheWardrobe was a great name.
Hope I have those right I haven't seen them in a very long time.

EverythingsShinyCaptnNotToFret · 26/09/2015 15:15

Fuckyou exactly Grin

Thank you Jorah, I have a slight liking for Captain Tight Pants.

Titsalinabumsquash is also a wonderful rounded and roll off the tongue name.

I am a little disappointed electricflyzapper has not commented on this thread :(

I grow fond of poster's story's not their names and hate it when they disappear. Says me who constantly changes

Yes, that's me too! I name change constantly now and I'm sure there are loads of old 'faces' here who used to be 'known' doing the same, so we all go around the board like Lone Rangers thinking everyone we once knew is gone. But really we are all still here in our cloaks of invisibility, unwittingly bumping into one another day in, day out. Confused

It's a sign of the times I think. It's a massive massive board these days, too much potential for being outed with facebook/twitter, mainstream media crossovers, fucking Jeffrey, etc etc. Gives me the willies. I preferred it when everything around here was green fields.

I have always admired:

FanjoForTheMammaries
AtYourCervix
WorraLiberty
EleanorHandbasket
TawdryHepburn
JenniferCanesten
ShirleyKnot
MyCatIsABastard
UterusUterusGhali
GetorfMoiLand

I think the shocking/rude/sweary names are only funny if they are also clever. Just throwing in some random profanity for shock value does nothing whatsoever to make me smile.

I like AnyFucker because of the history behind it though.
