Actually, 2072 has great significance in my life, but I can't tell you what it is, because then I'd have to kill you. Very hush hush, ultra-top secret. Shhh, you'd better not even ask.

Let's forget this conversation ever happened.

The eagle flies at midnight across the desert ocean.

my numbers relate to my "husbands" motorcycling number. Only MotoGP fans on MN ever make the connection..my husband is not a doctor and i am not 46. But I apologise if the number offends

MrsSprat · 07/11/2008 11:12

100101001001? Ok binary geeks, share the joke please...

PsychoGuyFawkesMum · 07/11/2008 11:15

oi, I have a 5 in my normal persona as it categorises me properly seeing as I have five children......

and the small fact that I could not just have plain old psychomum as someone had already nabbed it and then only posted once.

hey ho......always on the lookout for new versions of my name, but feel slightly odd now if I were to change completely.

beforesunrise · 07/11/2008 11:18

not with your name Cicatrice you couldn't

(are you italian by any chance?)

TrillianA · 07/11/2008 11:40

I am number 140742. That's a lot of names to think of that don't involve numbers.

susie100 · 07/11/2008 11:45

Yes, I have no imagination though. All the old-timers have bagged the best names.

Cicatrice · 07/11/2008 12:01

beforesunrise - no not Italian. I would like to be, though. Or possibly French.

sunnygirl1412 · 07/11/2008 12:03

How nasty!!! I've already been told on another thread that numbers in a nickname are not 'de rigeur' - I assumed that the poster was joking, but now it appears maybe not!

I wanted sunnygirl as my nickname, but it was already taken and so I added the 1412 suffix - not swanking about my dob, just using the first thing I thought of.

If that makes me an unimaginative lazy arse who's showing off, then imo that says more about those who think that than it does about me.

TrillianA · 07/11/2008 12:09

You were born on 14th December? Or you are 596 years old?

sunnygirl1412 · 07/11/2008 12:11

I was born on December 14th - I just feel like I'm 596 years old!!

sunnygirl.

cheesesarnie123456789 · 07/11/2008 12:16

nowt wrong with numbers.

ib · 07/11/2008 12:17

That's right. Whereas my username is highly imaginative and clearly captures my essence through and through.

cheesesarnie · 07/11/2008 12:18

too true ib.i quite like it.if you were in cornwall theyd be asking 'you be what, maid?'

BarbieLovesKen · 07/11/2008 12:19

mines really rubbish but EVERYTHING I wanted was taken when I was fist signing up really hate it..

Bandofmothers - now thats the best one I've seen - think thats a really clever one!

ra29 · 07/11/2008 12:20

yes well for those of us who are such incredibly interesting exciting imaginative people,we have to tone it down a bit somewhere in order to let the rest of you have a chance. You should be thanking us really.

SixSpotBonfire · 07/11/2008 12:25

Nothing wrong with having a number in your name, dammit.

BaracktorianSqualor · 07/11/2008 12:34

And mum, and your children's names.

LittleLapin69 · 07/11/2008 12:36

Much better with numbers.
