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.

From a comment someone made on a thread about flashers if I remember correctly. Someone else said it would make a good user name so I checked and it was available.

I shall now go back and get changed back into my normal username.

good evening

Had some mental health issues a few years ago (all good now) and found it difficult to think straight and often got the wrong end of the stick in conversations. I kept the name because now I have chemo brain (it will all be good at the end), so I am very forgetful and get muddled up!

One of my favourite films!

A little boy I used to support at school always sand about "Postman Pat and his bloody white cat..."

This was my Halloween name as Gaeilge

My superpower is my ability to drink huge amounts of gin without a hangover.

It's pronounced the same as "come inside" in Irish.

Used to be TB, but during a very stressful separation and having to change email addresses lost my login details. Mnhq couldn't help citing data protection. So, set up new id as newtb.

It's the week, right? Living day to day.

Senseofsomething · 08/11/2022 22:06

I might change mine to Ineedmorelegotoo, no idea why it is what it is 🤔

Hereandgoneagain · 08/11/2022 22:08

its a temporary name for when I need an alter ego. I was amazed no one else had thought of it already!

My favourite footballer is Ruben Dias and he adjusts his shorts when he’s defending a corner.

CocoLux · 08/11/2022 22:10

@RustyBear 😭 that's adorable

It's a The Handmaid's Tale reference

WomblingWimblingFree · 08/11/2022 22:11

I'm Orinoco

NeverOneBiscuit · 08/11/2022 22:11

Sadly true.

Omgiache · 08/11/2022 22:11

I name changed to this after getting back into exercise. I’m now 1.5 stone down following SlimmingWorld and a fitness routine of a class 3 times a week.
feeling less aches!!!!

MrsPerfect12 · 08/11/2022 22:11

My husband calls me his Mrs Perfect 🥰

What I want to scream at most posters in the relationships board. Where are their standards?
My other usernames are a bit more blunt 😀

JudyGemstone · 08/11/2022 22:13

Mine is a character from a tv show called The Righteous Gemstones. She’s a spoilt, bossy, self centred princess and has some hilarious one liners.

Pleasegodgotosleep · 08/11/2022 22:14

It was the prayer I offered up over my kids every night when they would not sleep. Now I also include myself as due to insomnia I cannot sleep😫

RampantIvy · 08/11/2022 22:15

The clue is in my name. I spend far too much time cutting the stuff back.

Karmakamelion · 08/11/2022 22:16

My favorite song...

Ponoka7 · 08/11/2022 22:17

It's the closest word for my favourite animal in my ancestors language. The number is my favourite number but I was a fan of Blake's 7, so it seemed to fit.
