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

[LoveBeingAMummy]

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

Oooooooh I love drinking wine! Clearly not NOW as am pg, but usually - hurrah! Well thought out, pamelat!! Not sure why, but yours is making me thinking of Pam Ayres in a chocolate shop.... still, Johnny Depp is there (as in the film Chocolat) so it can't be that bad! I think MadamOvary is tall too!

LOL Pamelat - Yes that's definitely me!
Your name makes me think of someone who is quite refined, long blond hair, perhaps with a PHD and dressed in Boden.

ooops I should have added not

I suspect mine makes me look like I am a dull mumsy type with no imagination.... which was most definitely the case when I joined when dd was a newborn.

Subsequently, I'm just lazy and can't be arsed to name change to something more witty

LOL at Cathpot. One of the funniest posts I've read in ages.

I wouldn't worry, tillyscoutsmum - I've just had a peek at your pics, and you look very lovely and just like a princess all dolled up on your ?wedding day! Am too scared to put any up of me - well, 1) - I don't know how and 2) ugh!

Tillyscoutsmum - just peeked at your profile - You are very pretty

I picked mine because it reminds me of carefree, childfree times, jumping up and down to the size of a cow. I also thought it was a good reference to my milk as bfing was finally going well for me. I hope people don't see me as big headed? I was Islasmum before, but that didn't seem too 'MN'

LOL at cathpot, thats brilliant. Sausagenmash your name makes me feel hungry!

Wonderstuff - perfect! Was just thinking of that cow song!! I love sausages and mash - am going to have them as the main course at my wedding later on this year

I am glam and hate spam.

However when I joined MN several years ago I was the most insecure person on the planet. However, bankruptcy, art therapy and starting a degree means I am more glam than spam now

Although I am very cockney and a bit of an oik

Thank you

Mmmmm - sausage and mash - lovely

cornsilk sounds very refined to me- wasn't it a posh powder compact in the eighties? Also conjures up images of a flaxen-haired maiden from a fairytale

You should name change to that then! Celebrate your new found glam. It would still be recognisable.
Sausagenmash that sounds like its going to be a great wedding

Omg just pmsl at BitOfFun's post!! I quite agree. With lovely cornflower blue eyes!

Thanks Wonderstuff - I do hope so! I love S & M (thats sausage and mash, not, um, the sex S&M stuff!) so much that I convince myself that that's the noise that trains make on the tracks. Maybe I'm just a bit loopy

My name is true. I really do need to run more. after aerobics today I only managed 1.5 feeble whining laps of the park; before xmas I was doing 5 or 6

LOL Bit of fun!I know what you look like as have seen your dh's website.

Pamelat I am 5'2" and you'll have to judge the witty and intelligent bit yourself...though with a 3 week old baby and a toddler, I think the answer is probably no! I always think your name sounds very refined too. Are you?!

I have no imagination for these sorts of name things - I have enough trouble trying to think of new passwords for annoying work computer ! so mine is my son's nickname and mother. Lord knows what image it conjures up

I am unlike a butterfly!

PB is a character in a Pratchett book, who is unsweet and ungirly. In fact she could kill you with her bare hands and looks as if she's thinking about it!

Well, obviously you all see me like this. Don't fgs look at my profile and spoil the illusion.

pamelat - I always envisage you like the pamelaaar in gavin and stacey...

Sausagemash your name just makes me hungry and yes i should immac more often!

Some names help you form a picture. Like LadyGencoraPallister. I picture a minor royal. Blonde, about 40.

What do I look like????

Mermaid sounds glam, but my last suffix was Oink...

I'm not refined but am perhaps a bit reserved (quite different things!). I would like to be refined one day when/if I eventually grow up.

Has everyone had to look at Tillyscoutsmums photo's since the pretty comments, or is it just me that is that nosey?! You are very pretty Tilly
