Why did you choose your mumsnet name?

[motherinferior]

This has been preoccupying me (I don't get out much!). Why did you choose your mumsnet nickname, and did it take you any time to decide on it?

I have to admit I pondered briefly about mine, but decided this one would convey a witty self-deprecation about me, motherhood, ability to communicate etc (har har har, pretentious or wot). So I just wondered...

becuase i am yellow powdery and lumpy

My name came about as the result of a recent bloodcurdling experience with a home highlighting kit. StrawHair or DayGlo would have been equally appropriate. Anyone know a good hat shop?

I chose mine because dd sometimes calls me that (no idea where she got it from...)

Mammya ... my DS has a game where he calls out 'Mummya!' and 'Daddya!'. And we call out '***a!' ... small things and all that
Anyway ... I am Ghosty 'cos I am pale and floaty and say 'Woooooooo ..... wooooooooo!' a lot!

Mine's because when I first joined I was pg with bad SPD and when I came on the PC I'd just spent a few minutes hobbling down the stairs so I felt like a wobbly mum. Now I'm wobbly because I spend most of my time either not getting any sleep and/or worrying about dd!!

Mine because my first car was a Mini Metro - I loved it - it was my first 'baby' I guess. Unfortunately it got squished in a fairly minor car accident as it was riddled with rust.

Not of my subsequent cars were ever the same ....

Cos I like the name lily, and one of my girls has a flower as her first name.

Im so unimaginative

Me too, fio...I wanted Bagpuss, I love Bagpuss, but that's gone too - but like Marthamoo's Fenella, I've never seen a post from her.

Beacuse I am...!

First three letters of each of both DSs names - bit of a giveaway if anyone I know is on here too (and I tell enough people about it!)!

I like Rhubarb, especially in crumble!

It's one of my nicknames, becasue of my surname and some witty bugger once added cat and it stuck with a few people so I use it when I can't think of anything else. My other choices weren't allowed for some reason???

Dh calls me Bunny cos I shag like a rabbit (apparently). Still havent told him bunnies were my Mums discreet euphamisn for sanitary towels

bunny you been on the wine again

my kids call me it as they have to ask/remind me to make their cups of tea after school at least 20 times (and no....this is not an exageration!)

wanted to call my baby jasper but dh would not let me

rhuby who is crumble and does your dh know?

... Rhubarb and Custardo ... I thought you called yourselves that as you are already mates and Rhubarb and Custard go well together (as in the cartoon ....)

chose mine because I live on the steppe, and I like the idea that people probably wouldn't get it straight away. (I'm not a stepmum by the way) I was going to use my real name, and then my dh told me you're supposed to be anonymous in achat rooms (I'm such a rookie on the internet) Mind you, anyone who knows me would work out this is me within five minutes. There are only 2 or 3 British mums in the whole of the countyr I live in, so a bit of a giveaway)

HHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM - Rhubarb - my DPs nickname is crumble (he is crap at drinking like me and just crumbles) - do you have anything to tell me????

I have to say I think Suedonim is the cleverest name too, and I love sprout too. lots of them make me laugh.

I love Blackadder and I'm nursing my baby!

Quite obvious mine really but I first posted on pancake day!!!!!

It's a song by a band called Grandaddy.
