Being told repeatedly 'That username is not available' so I swooped around some random letters on the keyboard.

I've loved reading these Smile

Emu is a Nickname an ex gave me.

Him: I’m gonna call you Emu!
me: after Rod Hull’s puppet?!
him: nah, you came first, you’re the original Emu.

🤷🏼‍♀️😂

The Originals-a vampire series 😳guilty guilty pleasure. Change between Elijah and Klaus as the mood takes me.

Has anyone noticed that recently there are loads of user names with the format AdjectiveColourNoun? Usually the noun is an animal, and the overall user name ends up faintly whimsical. This sort of thing:

SparklyMauveKitten
FlowyPurpleGecko

I can't work out if it's AI, trolls or people using some kind of name generator.

I'm a carer, a few years ago one of my residents would shout this at me, so now it's my nickname at work too 😂

TheGigoloAunt · 16/09/2024 06:00

Mine is named for a Syd Barrett song.

FiveShelties · 16/09/2024 06:02

I have had five Shetland Sheepdogs over the years. My 5th one is 12 years old so hoping she lives a lot longer otherwise I may have to name change.

Bette Davis quote from All About Eve.
"Fasten your seat belts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride"
It sums up my life!

Nothanks17 · 16/09/2024 06:11

Mine is inspired by the fact I have been too much of a people pleaser and feel uncomfortable with things and my username is what I actually feel.... NO THANKS

SquigglePigs · 16/09/2024 06:20

Mine is what my DH used to call our guinea pigs. The squiggles.

Daleksatemyshed · 16/09/2024 06:56

As a child Daleks were my favourite, scary but great. Why they ate the shed who knows ?
