I'm not changing .

Apart from anything else Cod said my name was OK on her thread about mum names, so that's good enough for me!

busybusymum · 29/11/2006 10:13

funnily enough I was thinking this last week.

my name is definately the worse Sorry

Sorry my excuse is I joined in a mad 5 minutes and used this name on another site. I will try very hard to come up with a new name if you like.

could I be littlebear? what do you think about that one?

zephyrcat · 29/11/2006 10:15

I liked Spursmum!! (Probably being a spursmum myself )

MrsJohnCusack · 29/11/2006 10:16

I like being MrsJohnCusack - well, who wouldn't?

some people I really think ARE their names - was nonplussed to see Malory's real name because I'll always think of her as Malory, and her name is my favourite on the whole site actually

also love harpsichordcarrier

zephyrcat · 29/11/2006 10:16

and Mumsnet is definately a naff name!

MrsJohnCusack · 29/11/2006 10:17

I can't think of many non naff names for parenting websites though - unfortunately I think the whole concept just lends itself to naffness

irentedwombspacetoxxandxy · 29/11/2006 10:18

is this ok?

zephyrcat · 29/11/2006 10:19

V true - I was just trying to think of names for parenting sites that wouldn't be mumsy and fluffy but it's not easy!!

MrsJohnCusack · 29/11/2006 10:20

at least it doesn't look naff
just nice and simple and no nonsense

zephyrcat · 29/11/2006 10:21

Yes it's definately the least fluffy looking site around!

winterpimms · 29/11/2006 10:22

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 29/11/2006 10:23

FARK ORF WILL YA!

Im gonna change mine now just to piss you all off!

Nah, not really. Might shorten it to JARM though

JARM · 29/11/2006 10:24

BOO

naffmummy · 29/11/2006 10:25

this was still available - quite like it actually...

hunkermunken · 29/11/2006 10:30

I like it JARM.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/11/2006 10:33

ROFL at "rentedwomb..."

OldieMum · 29/11/2006 10:36

My name is totally naff. That is why I chose it. I am so un-naff in RL that nobody will realise it's me

TheLoucheCannon · 29/11/2006 10:43

ive been faffing about trying to change my name for a bit (hence nappiesgalorequeenoffaffing) but keep getting told not to.
nappiesgalore is apparently, as i suspected, suggestive of glamour and danger and other fun stuff. and not just shitty nappies, which also play a large part in my life nowadays.

but this one, i rather like. whaddya think?

hunkermunker · 29/11/2006 10:44

Oh, I like it!

But then I was PieceOfPith for a while

LoucheWoman · 29/11/2006 10:45

LoucheWoman · 29/11/2006 10:46

piece of pith? you make me chuckle...
