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.

It's because of me being heartbroken when I had to have a termination due to really bad hyperemesis. Broke me.

Was listening to Simon & Garfunkel...

A song from The 1975. One of my favourite bands in the current era. Give it a listen. It's a better of a tune.

ThisMustBeMyDream · 08/11/2022 21:39

Belter. Thanks autocorrect 🙄.

It’s a quote from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Sokka tells Zuko his girlfriend turned into the moon and that’s his reply. Quality Zuko 😆

My sister found me lying on the pavement one hot summers afternoon back in the 70s waving my arms and legs in the air (look I was about 4 OK):

Sister: what are doing?
Me: im being a beetle
Sister: a girl beetle or a boy beetle?
Me: a boiled beetle.

I couldn't think of a clever or funny username

Katelyn88 · 08/11/2022 21:45

It’s my name followed by my sister’s year of birth. Identifying? I don’t give a fcuk !

VainAbigail · 08/11/2022 21:46

The person I knew by the name, very much was the description.

FightingFatAt49 · 08/11/2022 21:47

@RustyBear that's such a lovely story 😍 🧸

Mine is self-explanatory, and a losing battle 😭

I’m not a real villain

PicaNewName · 08/11/2022 21:47

I really wasn't arsed about being creative when I last changed it.

minimadgirl · 08/11/2022 21:47

Exactly what it says, I'm a girl and mad about Minis (the classic car, not really small things).

Rusty is a little knitted bear, about 3 inches high, made by my mum for me to take in my pocket on my first day at school. Originally he was a deep rusty-red colour, but he got washed in my pocket so often, he faded to pinky brown. He got attacked by moths and the darker brown patches cover the holes. He's now 61 years old and lives in retirement in a rocking chair on my bedside table.

That is so sweet!

Mine comes from the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, said by Dana, mimicked by Kyle.
