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.

RambamThankyouMam · 08/11/2022 21:29

The Rambam was a famous Rabbi - I just thought this would be a funny and slightly irreverent username.

I like fruit tea and a brouhaha is my response to most threads I get involved in.

Schroedingersimmigrant · 08/11/2022 21:31

Well... Self explanatory

OgdensGoneNutFlake · 08/11/2022 21:31

It's the title of a brilliant concept album by The Small Faces , which was actually called Ogdens Nut Gone Flake but I always got it wrong.

A character from a childhood book, and a random number!

Astronaut1298 · 08/11/2022 21:31

I was listening to a song called Astronaut in the Ocean at the time, and then added some random numbers at the end of the username as 'Astronaut' was taken

In that looping way history has, it suited me then as it suits me now! Manic Street Preachers have sung my life as they sing theirs.
Also 🤎 to Teddy Bears of venerable age everywhere

MarigoldPetals · 08/11/2022 21:13

I change my user name every few weeks. I just look around the room or garden and put whatever catches my eye.

Me too - I spotted a crystal tea light holder and a bottle of Coco Chanel thus CrystalCoco was born

nothingmuchaboutjerry · 08/11/2022 21:34

Whilst visiting prospective secondary schools, my DD made a keyring in woodwork which involved putting on nuts and bolts to make it look like a robot. She named it Jerry, to me it was a piece of wood with some screws and washers on...so I had nothing much to say about it Grin

JaceLancs · 08/11/2022 21:35

DD DS and I initials plus first letter of surname
