AIBU username envy

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?

TimeToMuskUp Thanks!

I love MyGastIsFlabbered.....

I often wonder what people look like behind their names. Are people with quite upfront names really demure uber-ladies in real life and MN is their chance to be feisty??

ohbollocks2u · 18/09/2015 18:09

There are some very witty posters on here , love it

GudrunBrangwen · 18/09/2015 18:09

There are some brilliant ones out there. I don't know who remembers her but when Hunker was on here, she posted a list once of all her old usernames and there wasn't a single one that wasn't sheer genius. Envy

still I feel quite proud of the fact I thought of a Christmas name for someone, in about 2009 and she won the namechange comp and then I won it too one year so clearly it is my only talent Grin

I stick to the namey ones now as I like having an actual name, rather than a clever phrase iyswim.

Took me ages to figure out SirChenJin!

Have to say AWombWithoutAFoof has just become my new fave!

Grin
GudrunBrangwen · 18/09/2015 18:11

Showy is also in a class of her own, I have to say.

GudrunBrangwen · 18/09/2015 18:11

Oh that was half mine too! She was womb without a roof and I added the foof bit BlushGrin

Cockbollocks · 18/09/2015 18:12

I always liked LeQueen I don't see her anymore but I actually believed she could be the Queen!!

GudrunBrangwen · 18/09/2015 18:14

Sorry I don't mean to take the credit there, she had almost sorted it and I only gave a nudge. The ghost of the idea was floating around...

LilacSpunkMonkey · 18/09/2015 18:14

I only worked out DixieNormas recently. I rather love that one.

RandomSocks · 18/09/2015 18:15

I think FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse is one of the best user names. I can't remember who Chris is, but I do remember the horse. AnyFucker is a great too, and I love all the witty ones around particular threads, such as the Yoni names.

I could never think of anything remotely witty, I am so envious of all the posters that can. I changed to my current name, which is the closest I can get to witty, for a thread asking whether people had odd socks.

I loved unexpecteditemintheshaggingarea.
It always made me smile

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 18/09/2015 18:21

I love reading mners chosen names, particularly any that are sweary and rude grin
Ta daah!

TranquilityofSolitude · 18/09/2015 18:24

My favourites are WafflyVersatile and JiltedJohnsJulie.

Ihavenousername · 18/09/2015 18:24

I am terrible at making good usernames. I really wish i could think of something witty, I tried for a good hour with this one. The result as you can see was not great! Grin

LargeGoldAtrociousCunt · 18/09/2015 18:25

There are some great usernames on here, I have been here around 5 years and regularly name change to suit my mood.

There are still quite a few great names missing since Hackergate though, not sure if they have left or name changed.

RealityCheque · 18/09/2015 18:28

I particularly like the puns. Some of them are very clever.

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 18/09/2015 18:31

Titsonafish always makes me chuckle.

ChopinLizt · 18/09/2015 18:31

I Love the ones that are not obvious, but really good once you 'get' them.

AWombWithoutAFoof · 18/09/2015 18:32

Yes Gudrun, you nudged my foof in the right direction. Grin

MyLittleYoni · 18/09/2015 18:32

Did someone say they liked the yoni ones?
