Funny really, "mum" names being considered a bit naff on "mums"net

[hunkermunker]

Dontcha think?

i hope JARM doesnt see this

Well my name actually makes me want to be sick it is so babyish but I just can't arsed to go through the whole, who are you? stage again.

Oh whenwill, you mustn't listen to any of this lot, keep your name, it was lovely...

Its because this is a parenting site .. so hence one can assume we're all (or the vast majority of us) are parents .. so it doesn't actually have anything to do with YOU as an individual

it would be like calling your baby 'Human' or 'Child'

Mr Human Smith

mellowma is not naff

So does mine count as naff? It's my footie team and was the only name I could think of at the time.
Maybe I should change, feel like a change.

I've changed mine jsut to annoy you

nah, i like spursmum

dont change

namechanging is v confusing IME

I was briefly Benjaminsmummy, before realising that I wanted to be a name that was mine rather than his, IYSWIM.

Oh bloody hell - says a lot for me then being identified by my cat!!

LOL that you assumed hunkermumker was me! (I assume you stopped thinking that when she said your's though, right?)

So I can't change my name to this instead!!!
(spursmum!)

Oooh, I like that name better!

(But then, I assumed 'spursmum' was related to football or cricket or something, and I don't do professional sports, so it's the 'spurs' bit I'm put off by, not the 'mum' bit ...)

Ahem! Whilst Issymum is undoubtedly, if not 'naff', less than inspirational, it is now my name and after a very brief flirt with name-changing (Issyfit), I'm going to stick with it.

A name is like your Mumsnet brand and changing it would squander any brand-value that you might have built in it.

I'm so bored at work, i'm sat here trying to think of a good name now.... look what you've started!!!

What's wrong with my name!!

What's worse than name-changing, though, is when other people come along and pretend to be you ...

NQC it's my favourite line from the Simpsons. The Duff Gardens episode when Lisa drinks the water. When she is brought to the the security area, she stands there in a towel and prounounces "I am the Lizard Queen!!"

NQC, you were too slow off the mark with that one, eh

Hmmm, sounds like a Doors reference, isn't it?

NQC . o O (Am I pretending I don't have a big collection of hunkermunker-type names on hold?)

BITCH
Like Hunker Munker is so unique!

mum2funkydude
yours hAS ot be one fo the

ahem

worst
lets chnage it

Well, there's only one Hunkermunker

The others are imposters...

Jools, do they call you "Granny"? Or something else?

lol...I can't really comment as I know mine is naff, and o.k. it's not got mum in it, but it is obviously a reference to the amount of Kids I have, etc....hohum...am to lazy to change my name though, and I find it far to confusing anyhow!
