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 hadn't thought of Daily Mail quotability! Might have to go to one of my equally genius sweary NNs.

What's TwoifbySea about? I never could get my head around it. Though it is nice.

Also I could never understand Amidaiwish

I always thought it was almost 'I made a wish' but knew it wasn't, but couldn't work out what it meant.

DeadAsADildo · 19/09/2015 08:12

Not sure about Twoif-is it a seaside place spelt differently? I think it's something Welsh for ImaidaiWish...but can't speak Welsh!

GudrunBrangwen · 19/09/2015 08:28

I think AF is very well known because MNHQ wanted to disallow the name due to complaints at one point and there was a big campaign against that, which eventually succeeded.

GudrunBrangwen · 19/09/2015 08:28

Oh thank you no I don't know any Welsh either.

Cockbollocks · 19/09/2015 08:41

Mine is sweary because of thread where a poster came on complaining about Sweary names.

It descended into a childish random sweary thread where loads of us changed our names in honour of our right to swear.

mine just stayed - in fact I've only ever had two names! Boring!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 19/09/2015 08:43

I'd never thought of myself as having an origin story :o I must be a proper superhero.

My namechange to CompletePushover for the start of the horsey threads was not quite such a good one. I was expecting to get my arse handed to me on a plate, for not being more kind and considerate to the lovely people trying to do their best for a poor wee horsey (Hmm)

Instead you were all lovely. So I changed back to my relatively recent NC of FuckYouChris (a quote from a very funny podcast with John Oliver and Andy zoltzman and their produced Chris). By that point it seemed apt that there should be a horse in my name too. And so FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse was created.

It's much better as an enigmatic name :o once it's explained it sounds a bit dull.

I think everyone should assume that Chris is my ex husband, and that horse was the other woman :o that's a better origin story.

I think the thread in classics (which turned into 3 threads) was called "To kick these people out?" (It started off as an AIBU).

Cross posts gudrun I'd forgotten it was anyfucker they took offence to!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 19/09/2015 08:44

Gudrun, but brangwen means white crow, you must know Welsh! :o

florentina1 · 19/09/2015 08:47

I am envious of anyone who can name change. My I pad won't let me do it for some reason

MamaLazarou · 19/09/2015 08:50

I've never worked out how to name-change. I've had the same name for six years. It's a League of Gentlemen reference. I am jealous of some clever user names. Like UterusUterusGhali.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 19/09/2015 08:57

I always liked the simplicity of SheepGoMeep. But I don't think that poster has been around for years and years.

Quietlifenotonyournelly · 19/09/2015 08:57

I love the sweary ones, I'm just not brave enough myself to do it...yet. I would love to know the origin of fuckyouchrisandthathorse

Can't stand the sweary vulgar names sorry, I just don't get it. Confused I imagine anyone with fuck/shit in their name to be a bit rough. I'm sure they're lovely but it's just the image I get Grin

Every1KnowsJeffHesUsuallyACunt · 19/09/2015 09:04

Dread to think what you think about me then! ^

A bit rough Grin

Tirfarthoinn · 19/09/2015 09:04

Nope, still managing to read it as FuckYouChrist

And that has outed me from a previous name change Grin

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 19/09/2015 09:06

Tir :o

Maybe that should be my Christmas name.

I like the juxtaposition between having a very sweary name, and hardly ever swearing.

I am incredibly rough :o

Tirfarthoinn · 19/09/2015 09:07

My subconscious inserts Christ for some reason and I then think it's an Easter name change that stuck

Tirfarthoinn · 19/09/2015 09:08

Christmas would work too with a donkey/ ass

GudrunBrangwen · 19/09/2015 09:09

Oh does it? I nicked the name from D.H.Lawrence. Ursula's sister Smile

Tirfarthoinn · 19/09/2015 09:10

Shit, I need an eye test. I read that as "adjusts, Tweets and moans" Grin

GudrunBrangwen · 19/09/2015 09:10

FuckyouChristmasandthatDonkey would be an epic Christmas name Grin

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 19/09/2015 09:13

I think I had fuckyouChristmasAndThatClaus last year :o

Always happy to have more seasonal suggestions :o

GrouchyKiwi · 19/09/2015 09:26

I love UterusUterusGhali and atyourcervix and pretty much any pun.
