Just wondering how everyone came up with their nicknames for MN because I do not have the foggiest why I came up with MuddyMoose!

I have large norks and have constantly had to deal with men talking to them rather than my face and also assuming I must be thick.

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 10/02/2019 19:33

Mine's from a poem I really like.

Warning by Jenny Joseph.

I came up with it because it's my birthday soon, and I'm feeling old!

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 10/02/2019 19:34

To be fair, Tits, you have a FABULOUS user name. Because I'm behind a keyboard, you can't see where I'm looking (fortunately!)

sunshineandshowers21 · 10/02/2019 19:39

mine came from my boyfriend always calling me sunshine when we first met because i was always in a good mood. then when i was in a bad mood one day he asked me if i was feeling ‘showery’ that day. it’s something he still asks now if i’m having a down day. and 21 because that’s my house number.

oopslateagain · 10/02/2019 19:41

Mine's because I have form for never being on time. Except for appointments.

Bluelady · 10/02/2019 19:42

Brilliant name, Tits.

Mine's ironic, I'm the least right wing person you'd ever find.

mindgoinground12 · 10/02/2019 19:42

Because with 5 kids with mutiple mental health and physical health problems my heads constantly spinning and I joined in 2012.

FunkyBarnYardBroom · 10/02/2019 19:43

I don't remember. I also don't know how to change it 😂

MightyAtlantic · 10/02/2019 19:44

It's the title of a song.

OldBrownShoe · 10/02/2019 19:45

My favourite Beatles song

MamaWeasel · 10/02/2019 19:46

I keep ferrets.....

Elephantina · 10/02/2019 19:47

Mine is partly my view of my appearance, and partly based on a line from the old sitcom Game On where Martin says, "What if it isn't just a rash, what if it's Elephantitis of the goolies or something?"

LilQuim · 10/02/2019 19:47

Nod to my fave female rapper Lil Kim. Though I wonder if my quim actually is little... gets mirror

Rainbowknickers · 10/02/2019 19:48

Cos my dd always wanted a pair of rainbow/unicorn pants!

PurplePenguins · 10/02/2019 19:48

My favourite colour is purple and I adore penguins.

ChampionThreadKiller · 10/02/2019 19:49

Mine is self-explanatory 😂

Rainbow · 10/02/2019 19:49

I have dyed my hair every colour imaginable as a teen so my nickname IRL is Rainbow

SovietKitsch · 10/02/2019 19:52

It’s a Regina Spektor album, but it feels quite special to me in its own right now.

MrsPresley · 10/02/2019 19:54

Because I wish I was!

MrsJackRackham · 10/02/2019 19:56

Anne Bonny was an 18th century female pirate in the Caribbean, she was married to Jack Rackham. The user name of Anne Bonny was taken so I went for Mrs Jack Rackham, for the irony really as she was really far from being the 'little wife' SmileSmile

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 10/02/2019 19:58

Mine comes from a recent thread about tattoos where someone mentioned their "trendy North London teen".

golddustwomen · 10/02/2019 19:58

Because I absolutely bloody love fleetwood mac.

isseywithcats · 10/02/2019 20:00

mines fairly self explanatory my name is issey and i have cats, originally it was with 6 cats as i had 6 at the time, when 2 of them died i just took out the 6

QueenOfCatan · 10/02/2019 20:04

Board game fan here, in our rules the winner of the last game of settlers of catan is crowned King or Queen until the next time. I'm actually very rarely Queen because I enjoy mucking around with everybody else's grand plans too much!
