To ask what inspired your username/which username you wish you had thought of for yourself

[scarednoob]

Reading the threads and sometimes the usernames are very funny! Mine is exceedingly dull; I'd just found out I was pregnant and had a question for the pregnancy board - hence being scared and new.

Tonight (whilst waiting for said baby to go the F to sleep!) I am laughing at needascarfformygiraffe.

So indulge/entertain a sleep deprived zombie - what's your name and where does it come from?

Mine is a line from my favourite film, love actually, when Hugh grant comes to Martine McCutcheon's door, and she comes downstairs yelling that, without realising he's there.

I've had a few name changes. I really liked my first ever, but had to leave it behind when I massively overshared!

Oooo Living maybe...he must have been very busy though, as she also has a number of imaginary sisters called Clo, Lo, Bo, Zo, Mo and Fo. They live in an invisible house placed precariously on our roof.

Sorry, I keep derailing...carry on as you were...

Ha ha. I see Michael must like rhymes then.

mine should have "now what" after it.

I've had loads! Current one related to what I had in fact spent the day doing. Tend to have music related ones mostly though.

Mine is from my friend who spent 20 minutes telling me about this great Tarantino film he saw..."umbungo unchained".

Dizzy rascal..... Yes I am a bit!!!!

I wanted "free at last" but somebody had taken it! So I settled for Finally free from it all. Its a reflection of the relief and freedom I felt escaping a severe domestic abuse relationship (that I'd endured for 8yrs and had kept escalating and escalating). I try to hold on to that relief when I'm stressed about the divorce and what may make him come after me.

Thank you for putting this thread up. I couldn't sleep because I was worrying about how ex would respond to latest solicitors letter. You've helped remind me of those feelings of freedom and relief.

I collect dragons. I also love Lord Peter Wimsey novels, and one of them features a treasure map with "hic dracones" or "here be dragons". There's only one of me so I changed the ending.

used to work, I wonder if it still does. 🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲

From the movie "Home", my dcs went round for weeks repeating it. Wish I'd thought of EddieLizard, love that username, hope to come up with sth equally creative soon....

Mine is of course due to the classic 'sharon' thread. I did want to simply be 'cunt'

Prince Humperdinck: First things first, to the death.
Westley: No. To the pain.
Prince Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase.
Westley: I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.
Prince Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me.
Westley: It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.
Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.
Westley: I wasn't finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.
Prince Humperdinck: And then my ears, I understand let's get on with it.
Westley: WRONG. Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.
Prince Humperdinck: I think you're bluffing.
Westley: It's possible, Pig, I might be bluffing. It's conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, that I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand. But, then again... perhaps I have the strength after all.
[slowly rises and points sword directly at the prince]
Westley: DROP... YOUR... SWORD!
Prince Humperdinck: [Humperdinck's mouth hangs open, drops sword to floor]

I'm the off brand version.

A joke from my 80s days, when I had a thing about boots. Thigh length knee length ankle boots, snow boots had boots for every season, in every colour. Family & mates took the piss said I looked like a dominatrix so I became "Mistress Boots". I kept the Mistress bit when I signed up here. Im 52 now & people still use the nickname which is ridiculous! (I still love boots but just over the knee will do, not thigh high ). The DeeCee = initials of my 1st names DC. Names that have made me laugh today:

BoreOfWhabylon
Tiggeryoubastard
Namechanging Bastard

Wish I was as imaginative as some

My Names always reflect on how I'm feeling at the time.feeling a bit non conformist recently.
Names I love on here are monkeyfacegrace,
Fangoforthemammories & noarmarninopunani.
There is a nickname I've wanted to use since I joined mumsnet but it's a bit to close in name to a very prolific poster

Oh another one is fuckynell,it would suit me 110%

These are great! for you finally - hopefully you will never know how he reacts because you will never have to hear from him other than through solicitors until it's done.

I think mine is self explanatory

She has a lamb called Lamb, a baby called Baby and an imaginary Dad called Michael (she has a real Dad too, he is not called Michael)

That really made me laugh

I love him. And feel the burden to be nicer than I possibly really am. I have been known to type something, then delete. Because I don't want the Pratchett name sullied with vitriol.

I would have liked to have been...

AnyFucker
IAmZombie

Those are my current favorites. And also, posters I like.

I'm named after Msr Fauchelevent and Cosette Fauchelevent a la Les Miserables!

I have absolutely no idea where mine came from - I've never been in a Costa and don't drink much coffee

I've got Aspergers Syndrome and proud of it

Costa, that's actually quite amusing!! It would be like me naming myself ILoveKFC, when in actual fact I can't even bring myself to eat their fries, far less the chicken!

My mind boggles at the things which waitrose deems Essential, and I like hummus.
