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 just wanted swear words in mine

Legallypinkish · 10/11/2022 09:22

I’ve had hundreds. They have no meaning.

Those of you who change usernames regularly - why?
Am genuinely interested! Is it to preserve anonymity? I'm not really bothered if anyone knows I'm mamabear!

I have names I post under for sensitive subjects and ones for general stuff and being silly. I like to keep my health related stuff separate but normally I nc if I've been a tit and embarrassed myself

Too many kids in Italian. 6 because that's how many I have and Italian because that's where my family are from.

mamabear715 · 10/11/2022 10:31

Ah, I see, @Threadkillacilla Thanks! :-)

I do it every time I think of something new.

Mine is my football team that I spend too much of my life following .

Nurse or hospital doctor would be my guess.

My bet is on midwife.

Come back and tell us!

I'm a huge Firefly fan!

@Jayneisagirlsname I love Firefly! There's a user called ThewomantheycallJayne who I really hoped would be on here to confirm it's also a Firefly reference, but haven't seen her yet...

LindaEllen · 10/11/2022 12:22

I feel incredibly boring... but mine is my name!

Tillow4ever · 10/11/2022 12:22

Mine is my favourite TV couple - Tara & Willow from Buffy

shivawn · 10/11/2022 12:24

It's my actual name Siobhan, spelt how it's pronounced.

Toddlerteaplease · 10/11/2022 12:28

It's how milky my tea is!

Copied from a particularly inept (in both name and execution) piece of modern art.

ShinyPikachu · 10/11/2022 12:31

I was playing Pokemon Go around the time of my last name change and I caught a shiny Pikachu.

ethelredonagoodday · 10/11/2022 12:41

When I was a teenager my parents used to call me Ethelred, as in Ethelred the Unready, as I was always late*. (Oh how we laughed.🙄🤣)

(*and yes we did know that 'unready' in his case meant badly advised, rather than not ready...🤷🏼‍♀️)

ljs22 · 10/11/2022 13:00

My initials and the year. Boring, really 😂

This could turn really bizarre if hyoybt turns out to be a florist or something...

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 10/11/2022 13:24

It's what I told the kids to call me when I got fed up of four little voices shouting mummy mummy, they had to concentrate to say it so used it more sparingly!

Youcunnyfunt · 10/11/2022 14:24

I'm easily amused by funny people
