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?

It's an homage to a very nice man who plays a nerdy little dude with wings on TV, and also his rather lovely wife. Neither of them seem to actually use this name so I figured if she does ever come across MN she won't mind too much. It has the advantage that being so bleeding long I'm unlikely to start coming across anyone using it with something added on the end (the issue with my previous nn which I loved but was a little too possessive and ragey over)

I like the clever play on word nn's but I'm far too lazy to think one up for myself.

Mine is from Archer... I'd just finished binge watching it on Netflix when I registered.

Oh and the 1 is because I de-registered after Jeffreygate and couldn't be arsed to try and think of another name.

On the craft thread someone threatened violence if she saw one more ...mothers are like buttons gift... A username was born.

Before this. Siriusgoliedown. Asshole cat who yield at the top of his voice generally at babies cot to make so I go running..

Before that. Drewswife. Which is who I am but I'm so much more.

I love all the names I see. Lots of funny ones.

I really wanted JuanKer but it was taken, so I settled for being a dickhead instead

I joined mn when starting to think about ttc. I was googling when to start taking folic acid and a typo lead me to my username.

Mine is from the us office, jim & pam are my favourites. I love lorelaivictoriagilmore & paulankathedog- hello fellow gilmore girls fans. Maybe I watch too much tv?!

Mine is after my favourite book when I was 10.

Named at a time when I was drinking a lot of coffee from a cafetière (rather than my usual instant coffee).

Have a 3yo ds so also watch a lot of Ben and Holly

I was weaning at the time and the smashing pumpkins were on the radio.

I wish I was Sirchenjin.

Sarah and Duck is my inspiration.

My favourite MN username is MaidofStars. So lovely.

From a song that fitted my life's philosophy (Let's Face the Music and Dance, sometimes called "There May Be Trouble Ahead").

I was watching an episode of Two and a Half Men and heard Charlie' mother Evelyn being referred to as Old Vodka Knockers.

Was breastfeeding my son at the time and thought it was hilarious

Sorry to jump in but how do I change my user name? Anyone know? X

It's under My Mumsnet/Account Lottie. Just over type your existing name with a new one, and renter your password.

That should be "re-enter your password" bloody iPhone

My toddler doesn't sleep. I miss sleep.
I think Homer Simpson says "i'd sell My soul for a donut" so I thought in would paraphrase.
My old username was my fave colour and a song that represented a lot about me. I miss it but I wanted to post something that was very personal and my sister knew my username so had to change.

Daphnewhitethigh- I can't see that option I'm using the app though.

Suetonius

Oh sorry, no idea how you do it on the app.

NeedAScarf I always assumed it was a Smartest Giant in Town reference!

Started life on MN as Gettingeasier going through divorce then current name and this thread and a recent event has made me realise after a few years I need a new name

I was on holiday in France with children who Would. Not. Sleep.

So, no change there, then... :o

Thanks anyway, when I have time can be bothered I will sign in to the normal website and change it
