to over think people's user names?

I normally just read posters comments, but I have become very drawn to people's user names. I won't single any out as that is probably inappropriate, but a lot of usernames are creating a real imagination and back story in my head (all good and positive and some a rude lol).

Does anyone else pay any attention to this or am I going through an odd phase?

BTW I enjoy KP snacks :)

Behemothdefeatsthepeasantsplough - yep you’re tricky- however I do see you’re a hard worker, you’re resilient and you get results

Not entirely accurate I fear, but I’ll take it.

firsttimebabybirther · 07/10/2018 23:56

I think mine might be a bit too obvious to read into Grin

Nice name, I like it. That's why I picked it months ago.

KeiTeNgeNge · 08/10/2018 05:32

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 08/10/2018 05:44

Tessirgirl do you have s dog? I’m getting a loving animals vibe- I think you are kind and giving

Mononoawarr1907 - are you very tidy? I’m sensing order and planning. I think you’re always on time

Metloboj - I see science - are you an inventor or maybe you like to reinvent the wheel- you don’t like being told what to do

Eliza9917 - I see strong independent lady - I see someone dark and attractive- someone who is an individual

Gothefcktosleep - I see someone who will tolerate only so much then snap and throw something- you try and be patient but don’t always quite manage it!

Ladyrochfordhoickedgusset - I a matron figure - a lady in charge, you take no messing- you’re firm but fair. I’m seeing someone a bit posh too

Grin no but funny- thank you OP.

gothefcktosleep · 08/10/2018 08:59

Hm, yes - there’s a dent in one of walls where I threw a high heel at DH’s head once. Unfortunately missed and hit the wall instead.

Very insightful!

ashtrayheart · 08/10/2018 09:32

Can you do me please? Smile

Saltypeanuts · 08/10/2018 09:34

ashtrayheart - I’m getting nostalgia, someone who likes to hold on to the past and finds new beginnings difficult. I also see someone who is yet to achieve their full potential

OP posts:
ashtrayheart · 08/10/2018 09:41

Not really but thank you Grin

Zoflorabore · 08/10/2018 09:44

I remember starting a thread about this on here a couple of years ago saying that to me, all usernames sound like horse names i.e. you can just imagine the final hurdle at Aintree-

" and it's zoflorabore on the outside, with kissmyass coming up behind him, mondayitis is gathering speed " etc etc.

I always overthink usernames too Smile

I change mine every week or so, and they never have the slightest significance other than being suggested by something I can see -- so this one was because a copy of SS's Finishing the Hat was on a nearby shelf.

MirandaWest, of course has a hawkish, vivid face, sings, fences, dances, acts, has very nice clothes, a crush on a gorgeous blonde Senior, and an au pair who packs for her -- and is very, very good at keeping still and looking angelic. Grin
