Origin/Meaning of usernames

Not telling

A few years ago, my family decided, wholly unjustly, to christen me The Christmas Grump.

I was in agony with a broken ankle when I started on forums

I hope everyone realises that GN is a public forum as several people have revealed something about their names that could identify them. No problem if you don't mind being identified, but if you do....

I wasn’t being very imaginative and every name I tried was already in use. After multiple attempts I somehow ended up with this one. I dislike it, it’s far too long and I can’t figure out how to change it!

I think Neil Sedaka was singing on the radio...

Either that, or I just glanced at the calendar for inspiration as two previous choices had been taken already.

Interesting thread, I often wonder what the user names mean. Mine because I try to be as my name sake even though I’m often GreySky! Maydonoz I’ve learnt a new word in a foreign language, I like languages and I’m pretty good at them. ?

DGD1 had two grannies - Granny Suffolk, now sadly deceased and also known as Hammy, and me, Granny Somerset. Simple really though unimaginative.

My children called my mum grandma Batty when they were young from Nora Batty in last of the summer wine. It was a sign of affection and she loved it. When I was a new grandma that's what I thought would make a perfect name for me. I'm not grumpy though and my stockings aren't wrinkled but I'm a bit batty.

I was Granny to two when I was on Mumsnet. By the time I moved over to Gransnet I was a Granny to Three. Simples.

I was trying to think of something happy and optimistic ...shining bright ...bright star ext ...With the year of my birth to start it off. Unfortunately I somehow got cut off before I was finished and this is the result. Not all that bright after all

Mine demonstrates my complete lack of imagination.

Mine is fairly obvious with my surname!

Illte, because that's what I wanted to call one of my children.

My husband said NO?

I was baggythecrust initially. I make most of our bread and no-one is allowed to cut a new loaf until I've swiped a thick doorstep crust off one end (only because they don't seem to be able to cut it to the desired thickness, or straight ?). One of my highest pleasures in life is a thick crust spread with butter and marmalade and a proper cup of tea (tea made in a teapot with loose leaf tea). I'm a simple soul!

It got shortened over time for various reasons. Still baggythecrust on Twitter though.

If you saw how much hair I've got you'd understand why I'm Chewbacca!
