Two famous Eglantynes. One was Chaucer's prioress, who wasn't what she appeared to be on the surface. The other was the founder of Save the Children. Both alluding to my fear that one day someone will notice that I'm actually just pretending to know what I'm doing re parenting...

HauntedLittleLunatic · 30/09/2012 22:11

I started with A name which described me and my interests.

Then I changed one word for halloween and didn't get around to changing back.

Then I need to name change so I just edited each of the 3 words to a synonym and ended up with hauntedlittlelunatic.

chocolateteabag · 30/09/2012 22:17

I meant to put chocolate teapot (as in "as much use as a") however had a brain fart and put bag instead
I like it though and often occasionally think how nice chocolate tea bags would actually be.

JustSpiro · 30/09/2012 22:20

I was DumSpiroSpero after one of Lucas North's (Spooks) tattoos Grin. The MNr's that know me call me Spiro, but otherwise I was constantly getting shortened to Dum - hence JustSpiro.

Now I get shortened to Just instead...Confused

EdgarAllanPond · 30/09/2012 22:21

WHen i was 17, i had a nice 1970 edition of the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe with beautiful illustrations.

i think the first version was Edgar Allan Poo because i was potty training at the time...

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 30/09/2012 22:23

Previous NN was a Firefly class spaceship, but changed to this because of a thread about Supernatural and its rather nice trenchcoat wearing exAngel. It was supposed to be temporary but I liked it so decided to keep it. (MrDTK is on my profile, sadly he doesn't belong to me)

Oh and just in case the real MrsDTK is on here (or someone who knows her) Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, she's absolutely bloody adorable (and kudos on looking so good so soon after giving birth) Grin Thanks and have a nice Brew

BestIsWest · 30/09/2012 22:23

Because West IS Best. This is what I think every evening as I travel home from work into the sunset. Someone already had the name WestIsBest and only ever posted once.

My sister was known on line as bonnie for ages and I am her much younger and better looking lil sister. She is now ImperialBlether

aufaniae · 30/09/2012 22:28

I joined a TTC thread, and chose aufaniae after a group of ancient European fertility goddesses. Thought it was apt. And if I believed in such things I'd say it was lucky as I was only on the TTC thread for under three weeks before getting a BFP (previously had been trying for about 5 months!) and am now 12 weeks pregnant :)

TodaysAGoodDay · 30/09/2012 22:29

I was going through a messy divorce when I joined MN, I occasionally had bad days, but the day I joined I was having a good day. My other NN is TodaysNotAGoodDay, but I haven't used that one for ages now.
