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?

I used to like TapirBackRider but I've not seen her in a while. I also like CakesOnATrain.

GreatFuckability · 18/09/2015 23:15

I love a pun name!

LyndaNotLinda · 18/09/2015 23:19

TillyMint used to post a lot but haven't seen her for a bit. But who knows - we've all changed our names recently. I have :)

LeftMyRidingCropInTheMortuary · 18/09/2015 23:30

I like:
Ovaryhill; and
FanjoForTheMammaries

ShowOfHands · 18/09/2015 23:30

I have around 200 usernames and I love them all. Grin

I will always be proud of winning the hallowe'en namechange comp TWICE. That fecker's going on my CV.

It doesn't make up for the fact that I have bog all to say for myself sadly.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 18/09/2015 23:31

Isn't she BigTillyMint? I think I've seen her quite recently.

I liked AtYourCervix and FuckMePinkandCallMeRosie Grin

BrideOfWankenstein · 18/09/2015 23:32

I love cunnyfunt and similar. And my own name. In fact I love any that have profanity in it.
It's my fourth since registering. My first one was my actual name and birth year. Blush I used it for only one post though.

ShowOfHands · 18/09/2015 23:32

Best Christmas name ever is CliffRichardSucksEggsInHell (was that Rhubs or Custy?). Or SackAche. I miss Toothy. She was the first person to have a proper row with me.

LeftMyRidingCropInTheMortuary · 18/09/2015 23:33

I like "OhWhatFuckeryIsThis"?
(I prefer caps in a username!)

MotherOfFlagons · 18/09/2015 23:37

I NC all the time but think I might go back to a previous username which had the word 'fucking'. Partly because it pretty much guarantees I will never be quoted by the Daily Mail, but also because I sort of enjoy watching people who don't like swearing try and find a way to quote me.

Tirfarthoinn · 18/09/2015 23:37

MarmaladeTwatkins is my favourite but possibly because her posts are bonkers.

I don't really get why AnyFucker is such a loved username. Is it really clever and I just don't get it?

I'm a serial name changer but try to keep them TP related.

ShowOfHands · 18/09/2015 23:41

I always liked TwoIfBySea, plus motherinferior and the inferiority complex from which she hailed. Sheik/intergalactic and Yuno too. Oh EleanorHandbasket tickled me greatly.

Oh I like everybody.

LeftMyRidingCropInTheMortuary pleases me greatly. I want to say honey, you should see me in a crown every time I see you.

LeftMyRidingCropInTheMortuary · 18/09/2015 23:41

I was jealous of someone called "Cumberbitch" so I used a reference from Sherlock for mine.

LeftMyRidingCropInTheMortuary · 18/09/2015 23:42

High fives Show of Hands

(...but did you mean "crown"?...)

PressTheAButton · 18/09/2015 23:43

FuckYouChris is the winner. Grin

I have had some brilliant names modest moi? but as I name change almost daily no one ever remembers them, mind you it could just be because I'm deluded and that they are actually a bit crap. Confused

PermetsTu · 18/09/2015 23:43

Unode50 · 18/09/2015 23:48

I always thought that SirChenjin was pronounced like 'searching gin' Blush

ShowOfHands · 18/09/2015 23:49

I always read ChickensHaveEyebrows as ChickenShaveEyebrows.

Fatmomma99 · 18/09/2015 23:51

C'mon... Everyone loves Worra because it's Worra, so loving that one doesn't count (no points!)

I liked ChwatFeechers, but she hasn't posted for a while. I also clock the name Welshmaenad because I'm a little bit in love with her (shhhh. Don't tell her, because she doesn't know, but she's my secret crush). She seems to post a lot but in batches, so she goes quiet, and I don't think she's on at the moment.

I also liked "mypubesarestraight", esp because there was a thread about why we've picked our names (this was before hackergate, obvs) and she posted and said "errrrm" which I thought was funny.

The punning ones make me smile.

But I find if I like a poster, I warm to their name, even if I didn't like it originally (like my lovely Welsh!) (not that I disliked it, but it didn't do anything for me before I loved her. I assume she lives among the hills and the valleys and listens to Tom Jones when she's not on MN)

SalemSaberhagen · 18/09/2015 23:58

My favourite is GiddyOnZachHunt (I may have slightly misspelt it there). Took me ages to get it though Blush

NeathTheMexicanSky · 19/09/2015 00:49

Mmm gonna get linched here but I just don't get the sweary names.
I'm certainly no 'miss high and mighty' but - why???

OrderofWork · 19/09/2015 01:00

I wont lynch you Neath, I agree. It's like when comedians think a perfectly ordinary sentence become a joke when they swear. I don't get that either. Don't object to swearing I just don't understand why it's entertaining.

Fatmomma99 · 19/09/2015 01:02

it's because of the people who can't deal with the swearing and twitch their way around it. That is very funny!

Fatmomma99 · 19/09/2015 01:03

and, btw, if they are a good comedian, there's a joke in there too. the swearing is incidental, but also funny.

but I am a "potty-mouth".

RealityCheque · 19/09/2015 01:09

Tirfarthoinn

You are not alone with regard to AnyFucker. It's not clever and you're not missing anything.

I genuinely have no idea why her username or even the majority of her posts have such a cult following on these hallowed boards. Confused
