Eggcellent - a la Monty Burns? Or do you not have an evil side and a gay assistant?

IwoulddoDrWho · 26/05/2009 13:48

mollyroger is the most excellent Queen of Names.

mollyroger · 26/05/2009 15:18

do we not have a smallorange? or was that years ago?

I like smallegg.
But Geocentric's idea of Egg is rather good.
Perfect in its simplicity and with a cultish feel to it, somehow.

More memorable than some long convoluted names, I promise.

But a stylish name will not inbue you with magic powers. The rest is up to you. Nobody ever really dismisses someone for having a boring name. They just don't. tips for being more noticable.

1: Post a LOT!! And often.
2: Find a specialist subject.
3: Find a clique
4: Be fucking funny
5: Be controversial
6: Join a cosy thread where people will be welcoming anyway like the tea shop or the bar.

smallegg · 26/05/2009 15:28

smallegg...alot of names promise more than they deliver...a boring name doesn't mean the poster is boring...your name is ok.

PuppyMonkey · 26/05/2009 15:32

I like smallegg, but I think you need to make a small change to SmallEgg.

RustyBear · 26/05/2009 15:38

I did think I got more attention when I was AttilaTheMum, but I probably have just about enough people who recognise me as RustyBear to feed my ego.(It's a very litle ego, so it doesn't need much...)

People with memorable names tend to get listed on 'name a mumsnetter' threads, but that's not necessarily the same as being liked - only your posts will do that for you.

southeastastra · 26/05/2009 15:39

didn't you start the chicken thread.

RustyBear · 26/05/2009 15:43

No, sea, the chicken came first....

isenhart7 · 26/05/2009 16:16

It reminds me of small potatoes, it's kind of . What about AllTheEggs, GiantEgg, or TheEggThatAteManhattan?

SamsMama · 26/05/2009 16:24

Don't worry smallegg, I love ya! Madly!

I need a new name as well, but I'm too lazy to change it. Ah well.

ilovemydogandmrobama · 26/05/2009 16:25

Just don't choose anything with dog as you will feel compelled to comment on every single dog poo thread

myredcardigan · 26/05/2009 16:35

It's quite dainty.

Don't worry, very few people get the FF reference of my name.

Daftpunk, I always think of you as being a Scottish Presbyterian sitting in the cold tutting!

daftpunk · 26/05/2009 16:41

what are you trying to say...that i come across as cold and aggressive?

ilovemydogandmrobama · 26/05/2009 16:43

Or maybe that you don't kneel?

EccentricaGallumbits · 26/05/2009 16:44

I like smallegg but think you need some capitals. SmallEgg.
you just need to post more. everywhere.
