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.

I had a thread picked up by a certain news paper and decided to name change.

IdblowJonSnow · 31/05/2018 21:49

Mine is entirely self-explanatory - if you watch 'game of thrones GrinWink

WhitePhantom · 31/05/2018 21:49

My name is derived from Guinevere, which means Fair Lady or White Phantom. I thought White Phantom was cool Smile

wildbhoysmama · 31/05/2018 21:50

Pretty self explanatory- I have 3 boys, 2 of whom are wild. Bhoys is more delicate: It's to do with a certain football team where I'm from. I'm not remotely sectarian (!) but my OH supports the rival team and it was a bit of a laugh when I used it as a username for eBay. I just used it again here because I'd remember it and I'm lazy. Wish I hadn't now, as lots of derogatory comments on MN about usernames with reference to being a ' mummy' !!!

Because when these are your values, and you’re as awesome as me her why wouldn’t this be my username?

My mum bought my DC a fox toy and said it was the wolf from three little pigs Hmm

clumsyduck · 31/05/2018 21:51

I'm clumsy as fuck ! Grin but duck is slightly more polite as a user name !

NotTakenUsername · 31/05/2018 21:52

I was looking for a username that wasn’t taken.

I was eating a turnocks wafer when I set my account up...

So profound.

StopPOP · 31/05/2018 21:52

Mine means STOP PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE (POP) as I'm involved in the MN campaign for better post partum care and I'm a member of APOPS (Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse).

If any ladies are unaware then it presents as-

Struggling to have a bowel movement
Frequency of peeing
Leaking Urine
A feeling of heaviness/bulging/pressure in the vaginal area
Many women struggle to keep a tampon in

Those are just some of the symptoms. Treatments are available and further info can be found here www.pelvicorganprolapsesupport.org

Any excuse to promote this so thanks!

Grin straight to the point ! Love it 😂

tor8181 · 31/05/2018 21:53

my nickname

WittyJack · 31/05/2018 21:54

Mine is just from "pirates of the Caribbean 2" - when calypso asks them all if they'd sail beyond the ends of the earth "to fetch back Witty Jack".

Johnny Depp is very Hmm these days, but I do love Captain Jack Sparrow!

Tiredofit · 31/05/2018 21:54

I name changed to post about an unfortunate situation at ds3's primary school which had really pissed me off. I then realised that if anyone read the post they would know it was me because I had moaned about it to so many people in RL and decided not to post but didn't change my name back.

Tunnocks, isn't it? I'm now doubting everything I have ever known.

It must have been panto season?
Or just menopause brain.

RustyBear · 31/05/2018 21:56

This is the original Rusty Bear, knitted for me by my mum to take in my pocket on my first day at school. He was once a deep rust-red, but multiple washings when left in my pocket and an encounter with some moths means he’s now pale brown with darker darned patches. He’s now nearly 57 and lives in retirement on my bedside table.

Mine is combined aunts from Sabrina The Teenage Witch. I wanted Salem Saberhagen (the cat) but apparently it was already taken.
