...how you came up with your Mumsnet username?

I've seen some strange ones (one that stands out is JizzPigeon haha, strange is not a bad thing!) so I was curious as to how you came up with your names.

Autumn is my favourite season. Autumn for ever was too long so I shortened it.

eveningfalls · 08/08/2020 02:27

evening is my favourite time of day and I love the song evening falls by Enya

MollyBloomYes · 08/08/2020 02:39

Mine's a bit wanky. Love James Joyce and the 'Penelope' chapter from Ulysses was the first bit of his writing that I studied at uni.
Plus also Kate Bush wrote a song with that chapter as lyrics and Kate Bush=life.

I live in the ME and my username is Arabic for "you're welcome".

mrscatmad31 · 08/08/2020 03:59

I had just got married when I signed up and I love cats 😁

AlCalavicci · 08/08/2020 04:39

I love the tv show Quantum Leap so bit by bit I am going through their names

Moonshinemisses · 08/08/2020 04:41

Mine is from the song Riverboat fantasy. It was my grandads party piece in the 80's. Every family event him & his brother would sing it, him on guitar & his brother on the mouth organ. Me & my cousins would sing our hearts out during the chorus. Cocaine kisses & moonshinemisses that's the life for me.

Mines the three stages of woman.

Fooshufflewickbannanapants · 08/08/2020 05:17

It's part of the name I told my kids I was answering to when I was tired of them all (6 of them) jabbering incessantly at me.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 08/08/2020 05:37

The first line of a song I was listening to when I signed up.

Jenasaurus · 08/08/2020 06:03

My DS used to sing the jurrassic park theme tune when I entered the room and say here comes Jenasaurus Rex

PawPatrolMakesMeDrink · 08/08/2020 06:09

I have a 3 year old who loves paw patrol too much

1000mangoesinabirthdaycake · 08/08/2020 06:27

Another Paw Patrol one. Mayor Goodway has a line in an episode "1000 mangoes in a birthday cake is a lot!". I thought it was funny.

@LemonadeAndDaisyChains

It was at the start of lockdown, when we couldn't go out anywhere apart from the local shops if we really needed to and it made me think of picnics in the park and sunnier days Smile Still a bit baffled as to what the poster insinuating I was a perv and dodgy, and that I should google was all about lol - think they have ishoos and says more about them than me lol, reallllllly not going to google either lol. Maybe need a more "well 'ard' name next name change Grin

Actually your username reminds me of my very early childhood in school. Sitting in the grass in the sun (not UK) making daisy chains and necklaces and garlanding my friends. A happy snapshot of the days when I was happy and still innocent. 🌹

@Freewheelingto40

I'm 39 😭

Ah love - don't you worry. 😎 It gets f**king better from here! Think of good single malt whiskey and "proper" dark chocolate. 🥃 🍫

I'm in my garden 24/7. Perhaps I was a triffid in a previous life.

StarlightLady · 08/08/2020 06:47

It’s what mum used to call me as a kid. ‘Sort of petname. Sister was moonlight lady and still calls me Star!

cultkid · 08/08/2020 06:52

I named changed about a year ago to ask for advice on my husband who I feel was raised in a weird cult

Anyway I thought fuck it if anyone recognised me then they do I don't have anything to hide

So kept it

SparklesAllOver · 08/08/2020 07:14

I'm a bit of a magpie and adore shiny things, but my name comes from when vampires sparkle in daylight.

uglyface · 08/08/2020 07:29

Self explanatory, really. Could easily also have been something to do with being tired and poor too 🤣

I was wondering how that related to your user name then realised it was plants and not pants!
SilenceOfThePrams · 08/08/2020 07:49

Play on a film when my child had finally stopped screaming.

TheAquaticDuchess · 08/08/2020 07:54

Mine is the nickname of my pet angelfish ☺️

Izzabellasasperella · 08/08/2020 07:55

@Midsommar have you seen that film? It was freaky!
