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.

Sevenstones lightship between Cornwall and Isles of Scilly.

AlbusSeverusMalfoy

Is your name a nod to a fanfiction pairing?

I was always a huge Harry/Draco fan but then I discovered Albus Severus/Scorpius Grin

ScreamingValenta · 01/06/2018 16:39

@topcat2014 Railway geekery is definitely the new cool Grin.

I used to love Topcat as a child, but in my era the programme was listed on TV as 'Boss Cat' because there was a name conflict with a brand of cat food - not knowing anything of this as a youngster, I could never understand why there was a difference.

VforVienetta · 01/06/2018 16:42

Like V For Vendetta, but with more ice cream and chocolate.
Because frankly I'd rather choose pudding over anarchy.

GetOffTheTableMabel · 01/06/2018 16:55

This is Mabel (with her sister).
She knows she is not allowed on the table.
She does NOT care.

GetoffrgetableMabel and why should she? It’s HER table, she just lets you borrow it. What’s her sis called? They are gorgeous!

Mine’s a Buffy episode that I think is really underrated!

GetOffTheTableMabel · 01/06/2018 17:17

Her sister is called Maud.
Maud manages to abide by the rules (she is never on the table) but we ALL work for Mabel. She is the Queen of Everything.

nibblingandbiting · 01/06/2018 17:28

I regularly change my user name and I like nibbling and biting

sweepoflippyandswipeofpowder · 01/06/2018 17:33

Mine is because I love makeup and I constantly top up with a sweep of lipstick and a swipe of powder on my nose.

kaytee87 · 01/06/2018 17:34

It's just a play on my name and surname.

TrickOrRuddyTreat · 01/06/2018 17:34

Mine's a quote from Bottom

Mulberry72 · 01/06/2018 17:36

My favourite handbags and the year I was born.

Lordamighty · 01/06/2018 17:37

Mine’s an exclamation that I sometimes use & not me thinking I am an actual deity.

Rottweilers1 · 01/06/2018 17:42

I have one Rottweiler

DontTouchTheMoustache · 01/06/2018 17:42

Mine is a bit of a joke, some people think it sounds like "you're welcome" in Japanese (dou itashimashite) so everytime I get a snarky @ the poster is saying i am welcome 😁

Laiste · 01/06/2018 17:42

Moon's daughter. Light in the darkness.

cuckooplusone · 01/06/2018 17:46

I originally had a cuckoo based name because when DP moved in I already had a daughter (so my partner was helping to raise someone else's child like a cuckoo), when I had another baby I added the plus one. I might change it to something else....

SuburbanRhonda · 01/06/2018 17:48

A song by Magazine, my favourite band of all time.

kingjofferyworksintescos · 01/06/2018 17:49

I was food shopping and as I went to buy fruit I saw a King Joffrey lookalike ( g of t ) stacking the satsumas

StephenStrange · 01/06/2018 17:50

Mines StephenStrange because I’m a big marvel fan and Doctor Strange is my favourite comic/movie i also have a ginormous crush on Benedict Cumberbatch in the film

ToffeePennie · 01/06/2018 17:57

Mine is a reference to the Big Bang theory’s “penny” but with a different spelling.
I also craved the quality street toffee pennies during the last trimester of my second pregnancy

QuackPorridgeBacon · 01/06/2018 18:22

Things that we like. Younger loves ducks and at the time my elder was eating porridge and me and their dad like bacon. It’s not our favourite things but just what I noted at the time of changing my name. I like it too much to change now.

Badbadtromance · 01/06/2018 18:26

Mines a play on the lady Gaga song

Zaphodsotherhead · 01/06/2018 18:28

Zaphod Beeblebrox ('goes to pieces so fast, people get hit by the shrapnel') is my hero. I'd steal the Starship Heart of Gold myself, if my Joo Janta Peril Sensitive Sunglasses didn't get in the way...

DiabolicalMess · 01/06/2018 18:52

I really like Steven mulhern!
