Just that really. What is the meaning behind/origin of your username?
I’ll go first: mine is based on the name of a holiday home I visited many years ago now.

I was reading about Mount Everest when I was choosing a name.

A line that really made me laugh from Orange is the New Black ❤️

It's a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Exh is a compulsive gambler and I picked the name when I left him.

MrsGhastlyCrumb · 10/11/2022 06:48

Mine is sort of a riff on The Gashllycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey.

Only fools and horses, one of delboys fave sayings.

TheWayOfTheWorld · 10/11/2022 07:51

It's a play.

LittleOwlorNot · 10/11/2022 07:57

I change mine all the time. This one is because I saw a bird I couldn't identify and as it flew off, I thought it could have been a Little Owl (I've always wanted to see one)

I own a Miata (mx5) and it's always broken 💔

All those years ago when I started on Mumsnet, I lived by the sea.

Dogscanteatonions · 10/11/2022 08:25

My current one came from this thread where the OP's husband didn't want her having seconds/too much of any dinner she had cooked because the dog could have it instead. OPs husband was a cock about this.

However this particular dinner was shepherds pie and loads of posters banged on about how dogs can't eat onions for OP stating the dish didn't contain any. 🤣🤣😂

My dad died a few years ago and these are two nick names he used to call me when I was little

Tears for Fears - Woman in Chains, but still feels appropriate!

I grew pumpkins for the first time this year!

Fellow pumpkin grower here! Isn’t it fun?!

ChristmasisRuined · 10/11/2022 09:08

@WiddlinDiddlin Can you please not use the S word on here? It is highly offensive to anyone neurodivergent, as is that disgusting ‘song’

CLC22 · 10/11/2022 09:19

My initials and a special number with meaning 🥰

ddl1 · 10/11/2022 09:20

'ddl' is copied from my username on another forum. It stands, of all things, for 'deficit denying leftie', which at one point a local politician was constantly accusing people of being! When I registered on MN, I was told that 'ddl' was already in use, so added the '1'. I keep planning to change it, as it is too easily confused with 'dd1'; but haven't got round to it yet.
