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?

I've had a few but this one is the name Hermione Granger changed into a Hobbit name by some online name changer thingy. (I'm a huge HP fan.)
I like OhYouBadKitten and Sparklingbrook.

It's a Firefly reference.

I had a different one when I first signed up and used the same as my blogging pseudonym since only a few friends and family members read my blog.

But then I started to write more and consider trying to be an actual 'blogger' and I joined the Mumsnet Bloggers Network and one of my blogs was blog of the day and I thought it probably wasn't a good idea to have two places I reveal quite a lot about myself linked by the same name (especially when one was featured on the other).

Mine is sentimental when I was a teen, I was finally able to leave my narc mother who tried to withhold contact from my dad. I left home and moved in with him.

He used to walk to the shop, despite this mobility issues, everyday to get me some cranberry juice as it was my favourite. I love my dad so much. 😊❤️

Darryl Dixon from WD.

I so would especially if he washed his hair

When my 6 year old was a toddler, she used to point to my Old Gregg (character from Mighty Boosh) fridge magnet and say, "That looks like you Mummy". Mumsnet wouldn't allow username Old Gregg, probably as it's already been taken.

Also considered:
GOTAMANGINA (Also Old Gregg.)
TERRIBLECUNT (from Withnail and I, but thought that must have been
taken already.)

Mr Messy's arch-nemesis. nemesises nemesi Oh whatever, his two enemies

I was once googling anagrams (as you do! ). My Dad is a big Clint Eastwood fan so this one stuck in my head to relay to him. when name changing after hacker gate it popped into my head.

I'm a Nirvana fan.

Mine is self-explanatory I think. Can't stand the man!

Mine's a quote from Buffy "occasionally I'm callous and strange"

Mine is a quote from a Marx Bros film - "No one believes in a Sanity Clause.

It was a Christmas name change, but I liked it, so I kept it.

It does worry me a bit that people who don't know the quote will think I am trying to imply that I am the voice of reason.

Names I like are;

MardyBra
HeartsTrumpDiamonds
LyingWitchInTheWardrobe

I havent had sex in a long time. I like to think of my vagina being a vegan for now.

I like the username fuckyou?andthathorse, i cant remember the ? name.
I imagine all sorts of scenarios!

I was in sainsburys and needed a quick name change

I like U2

It was U2TheEdge, because It wouldn't let me have I'llTakeU2TheEdge.

Then someone accidentally called me U2HasTheEdge so I changed it.

I'm not very imaginative.

I was at a sporting event and overheard the referee say it to one of the players.

My name - useful spell

Mine is the name of a (minor) mutant character in the Marvel comic book universe, she was affiliated with the Hellfire Club, which has featured in various X-Men comics over the years.

I'm a Marvel nerd fan, so when I joined MN, I tapped the depths of my Marvel knowledge for something I was sure wouldn't be taken!

Mines a character from Gormenghast, was reading it when the site got hacked.

I think StrapOnDodo is my new favourite username

Was watching Family Guy whilst reading the penis beaker thread. Suitably bleugh, and very me. My DH doesn't have a penis beaker and isn't called Peter BTW

Mine was inspired by the program Impractical Jokers.

Can I just say I love the names JeremyZackHun and GoveUckYourself. I am sat in the office giggling away at those names.

My all time favourite name is TitsalinaBumSquash. Nice poster, brilliant name.

Mine is self explanatory, although I always want to be more witty when name changing, but I'm just not very funny.

Total misspelling it was meant to,read quertyjo

I have a fondness for the work of Glen Campbell and at the time of choosing a name I had a handbag covered in rhinestones...
