Your nicknames

[MuddyMoose]

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

Line from an Eddie Izzard routine

It was what a teacher said as I arrived at their school with my car loaded with lab coats & other gear.

It's a line from The West Wing; my favourite show.

One of mine & DH's first dates was going to see Monsters Inc. He said I looked like Boo, but more ikl

My username is an homage to one of my very favourite television shows called Larkrise to Candleford which aired on BBC 1 in 2008 but I only found 2 years ago on Netflix.

Ms. Lane is a well intentioned meddler who likes to dole out advice and wisdom to her neighbours. She sometimes gets it wrong, but she often gets it right which is why they often come to her for advice and call her "the fount of wisdom". If she were real, I wish she were my Auntie in real life. She's also very pretty and I love the clothes she wears, except her hats.

As far as I know though, she does not have an American cousin, but if she did I would hope that it would be me. I also hope that I give good advice here on MN like Ms. Lane would, although sometimes I think I miss the mark. I am trying though.

I’m Californian. I’m in London. I wish I was home!

Mine came from DS, who was about 4 at the time, making a big fuss about nothing in particular. To distract him I told him he was behaving like a drama llama. He stopped mid flow, looked at me indignantly and announced 'I'm not a drama llama, I'm a drama alpaca!'

It is related loosely to our surname. The name isn't Topsey though.

I do have a cocker spaniel called Topsey, but my nickname, which I use in several online places, pre-dates her.

From John Watson’s stag night episode of Sherlock - he and Sherlock get pissed as farts, and when asked what they’re doing at a crime scene, the reply is ‘clueing for looks’

I wanted to be Blanche Devereux but someone beat me too it.

I was often to be found consuming gin.
I may have to change it though, recently been advised I can't drink anymore as genetic kidney problems have caught up with me.
I shall probably change it to coffee.

Ooh I loved Larkrise to Candleford

DramaAlpaca that's a fabulous story, I can just imagine a 4 year old coming out with that.
Mine is a recent name change and it's the name of our house

Mine is a character in Babylon 5, which I didn't watch, but OH did - night after night for months.

The cardibach is a bit service which (almost) passes my house. Very rural location. Bus stops often a stroll away.

The name of my favourite spaceship from one of the best sci fi shows ever...and my age...one brings me joy and one depresses the fuck out of me

A bus service!

A big Queen fan

I love sushi and it's my lifelong dream to visit Japan!

Serenity I have to agree about the tv series!

Mine's Welsh for 'little Welsh village'.. . Because i live in a little Welsh village.

My nursery school teacher called me Miss TicketyBoo because I didn’t like messy play and could often be found sorting the building blocks into categories 🙈

I loved Lark Rise too, and Paris buns, haven't had one for years.

I changed to this nn because I wanted a noo naim.

Because who doesn’t love a bit of badger meat.

I’ve no idea actually. I’m vegetarian and find my name slightly repulsive!

I'd been gardening all day and was coated in vegetable matter of one sort or another.
