Mine just popped into my head.
it’s a profound reflection on the relationship between our words and perception when interpretations are made by an outside agency
Those puzzle books used to have clues you can solve with a mirror.

These are so interesting!

Mine is a play on happy ever after, like a fairytale. I'm living in the Middle East and while the place I'm in is most definitely not a fairytale, Iftar is the break of the fast at sundown during Ramadan, which coincidentally, is taking place at the moment. My fasting Muslim friends are very happy at sundown! avoid the roads and driving though Smile

MissusGeneHunt · 01/06/2018 05:28

Mine is from Ashes to Ashes and Life on Mars. GH was the lead character in both series, a hugely mysoginistic and old fashioned copper, with an underlying heart of gold. It was purely fictional I hasten to add! So a sense of irony, but I equally adored the character.

TheDowagerCuntess · 01/06/2018 06:03

Just an MN spin on a well-known character. I'm not usually a user of the c word.

vampirethriller · 01/06/2018 06:19

The film Lesbian Vampire Killers was on. Terrible film. But my friend thought it was called Lesbian Vampire Thrillers which made me laugh. I was drunk.

TwoFs · 01/06/2018 06:24

Two of my most favourite people in the world both have a name beginning with F. They’re a couple and we call them the two F’s

Buggeritimgettingup · 01/06/2018 06:36

I used to lay awake at 4am trying and failing to get back to sleep....now I just get up.

WheelyCote · 01/06/2018 06:38

Mine is how my son would say helicopter when very little.

missmouse101 · 01/06/2018 06:52

An ex boyfriend’s name for me. I always thought it was quite sweet! I’m the complete opposite in every imaginable way though!!

DoctorTwo · 01/06/2018 06:52

I got bumped up from Doctor Three

topcat2014 · 01/06/2018 06:56

@screamingvalenta - cool!

my initials are T and C and I joined MN in 2014 and am dull!

echt · 01/06/2018 07:06

It's German for "authentic". I'm not German and can see how the name's a bit self-regarding: Look at me; I say what I see/ speak as I find sort of bollocks.

Turnocks34 · 01/06/2018 07:10

Possibly is tunnocks actually. Even more profound. And now spelt wrong. At the time of setting up my account I had a newborn - I can blame that right?!

Yogafailure · 01/06/2018 07:13

I've just got into yoga but although some poses are easy for me others are a nightmare.

Previous usernames have referred to pets names, favourite colours, my love of wine......🤔

Dergadgeghead · 01/06/2018 07:16

Oh wow egdeh I didn't know there were two of us! Grin

Flaminglingos · 01/06/2018 07:26

Mine is a play on everybody's favourite pink bird, the flamingo, and I overheard somebody remark "I can't understand the flaming lingo."

Mammyofasuperbaby · 01/06/2018 07:27

Mine is for my DS.
He's my little superhero and has thrived despite everything that has happened in his short life and doesn't let his disabilities get in the way of being super happy.
He's my inspiration

elQuintoConyo · 01/06/2018 07:58

It's Spanish, means 'middle of nowhere' or 'back of beyond'.

Literal translation is 'the fifth cunt' Grin i get shortened to elQ or Quinto mostly. Rarely Conyo Sad

Oh, MN won't let me do a ñ in the name bar, so it's slightly misspelled. Feels more Catalan, which is apt as i live in Catalunya.

DayManChampionOfTheSun · 01/06/2018 08:00

It's always sunny fan

MongerTruffle · 01/06/2018 08:03

I used a random username generator.

TorviBrightspear · 01/06/2018 08:05

Every time I feel like name changing, I just Google name generators. This time I got a mock Viking one. I just look at images, loads of things to pick from.

NightAndShiningArmour · 01/06/2018 08:10

Mine was inspired by some shite miss-use of the phrase on a bizzare thread.

sunshineonarainyday321 · 01/06/2018 08:21

It's after the 90s song (obviously), if I was going to be all deep and meaningful I'm quite stressed at the moment and I like the sentiment!

JaceLancs · 01/06/2018 08:31

Mine and my DC first name initials plus initial of last name
County of residence

JustDanceAddict · 01/06/2018 08:38

I was addicted to Just Dance I’m the Wii - not now though 😊

MuddlingThroughLife · 01/06/2018 08:39

Changed mine last year when my forever 10 year old ds was having treatment for a brain tumour.
