To get a picture in my head of MNters from their nickname....

[LoveBeingAMummy]

....and then sometimes be very surprised by their comments?

Haha @ cornsilk

I don't resemble a bean I don't think...

Hmmm - Do i sound like a farmers wife or something?

More like a stressed out mum at the petting zoo. 'Just feed the goat!'

...or something very rude that I would never do....

Definately closer cornsilk! Choice was related to football team i support in truth and i (affectionately I add!) used to call my ds a daft goat when being silly.

I do look like Lulu's mum !

I tried submitting several nicknames before this one and they were taken. So thought about what I spent my time doing and had some interest in and sadly [in some ways] pushchairs sprang to mind. I have thought about changing it especially since the slagging off of 'pushchair huns' recently but isnt that a hassle and you must spend time explaining to others who you were before?

lol @ lovebeingamummy.

When I chose my nickname I was feeling anything but optimistic! I thought if I chose this name it would force me to adopt a more positive attitude. Neurotic or unsure would have been more apt at the time!

Can I just say, I don't think I look like a giant sausage or a pile of mash. I do like eating them, though. With lots of gravy. And peas

i just look haggered then!

Yup. i am a disaster area.
i am also a dead intergalactic rock star but my real name caused all sorts of confusion.

...just read the thread title as Munters...

Nappyzonehasastroppytoddler - I think you look great as a bear!

I think my name probably makes me sound more grown up, sensible and posher than I really am. Unless you are a fellow E M Delafield fan, when you will realise that I am just pretentious

well i must confuse the hell out of you then as my name is all cutsey and vacantly girly and i'm..... well not generally (i hope? )

i actually picked it as it was the only present i got for mothers day that year.... which i bought myself. it a sort of personal reminder that at the end of the day everything is down to me and not to expect anyone else to come through for me as i'll be disappointed.

So some are literal and some hopeful.....

I stuck with mine after namechanging for a lighthearted rude thread...it was not long after I joined, and the first time people "spoke" to me, so I kept it. I love seeing clever or funny names like TheDevilWearsPrimark, or jesuswhatnext, but I didn't get it together in time to make one up for myself. I like this though, at least it's cheerful!

great thread. i too have done this, wondered what they looked like from their name!

cathpot, that is so so funny..... fabulous!!

helen burns..... am i right in thinking she was the 'bed fellow' and friend of jane eyre??? (i hope i am right, i have read that book countless times!!!!)

I used to be Bearmama, but this is MUCH more me.

cathpot is a brilliant name.

I don't know what people make of my name.

I also did not realise that my "nickname" would be my visible on screen name. I was sleep deprived when I joined as DD was a week old. I never knew I would be online so much!

cornsilk and fairycake - to me your names make me think that you are petite people, girly and friendly.

MadameOvary - to me your name makes me think that you are tall (why?!!!) witty and intelligent. Similar for Theprovinciallady?

Sausagenmash - your name makes me think that you are fun and that I would enjoy drinking wine with you. It makes me think that you are homely and a real earth mum.

I rarely look at profiles, most seem to be private?
