I have just joined and had to think of a user name, I picked one which I would like to be, but would probably not match In reality as I'm too soft.
Am I being unreasonable to want to know why you picked your usernames, I have hovered on this site for a while and have come across some good ones and would love to know why people picked them.

I like Star Trek and I'm troubled by most things, it's also a play on the name of an episode of Star Trek Grin

Pahahahahahaha I forgot I'm locked out of my old account. I was TroubledTribble! This name is based on a piece of shit who hates women.

I live in the big city and beetle about semi anonymously as a fairly plain and comfortable person. This feels like my natural habitat at the moment.

Ummm...there's not really a story behind mine.

I was arsing about looking for 2 character usernames. Most were gone so I ended up with this.

Newbies can't have 2 character names now. Grin

I had a craving for an egg and cress sandwich while joining MN so I made one and it seemed a suitable username as I couldn’t think up another one!

Aprilshouldhavebeenmyname · 02/06/2018 21:27

Mine does what it says on the tin. I bit my nail which broke my bottom tooth. Dentist repaired the tooth, I stopped nail-biting immediately and my nails have never been better. It was a pivotal moment.

Tistheseason17 · 02/06/2018 21:28

It was Xmas 2017 when I posted.... highly unoriginal and boring. Sorry 😳

redastherose · 02/06/2018 21:29

My daughter came up with mine 😄

Hooli · 02/06/2018 21:30

I was watching Silicon Valley. Hooli is the name of the big rival company. I liked how it sounded.

There was a thread recently by someone who couldn't stand the name Arthur 😭

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 02/06/2018 21:37

Self-explanatory, really.

Shock how tough are your nails?

This thread is from a few days ago. It asks the same question as OP and has several hundred posts.

Mine’s a quote* from Stephen Colbert’s speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, back in those innocent times when George W Bush seemed like the extreme end of the Republican Party.

*actually a slight misquote because of the character limit.

theycallmebabydriver · 02/06/2018 21:48

It's taken from one of my favourite songs- Baby Driver by Simon and Garfunkel. There was recently a film by the same name and it's brilliant. It's written and directed by Edgar Wright and the sequences are choreographed to the (excellent) soundtrack. If you haven't seen it I would highly recommend it!

AgadorSpartacus · 02/06/2018 22:54

My favourite character from a film I never get fed up of watching- The Birdcage.

Kickassbitch · 02/06/2018 22:54

Mirrorwing genuine post did not see yours, duplicate thread by accident. I may have a look at your post too.
Just weird curiosity on my part!
