What the....oh?!

I can’t help seeing Taichinan as a Gaelic place name, even though I know she’s a Nan who does Tai Chi

Ooh make that last bit a wanny, not a manny.

I like grannynannymanny.

just because it's silly and it's the sort of name we used to think up for my mum.

I have reactions but none I can repeat here

It took me a while before I realised that Hithere was Hi there; to start with I read it as Hith-er-ay, and thought it sounded like a Norse goddess.

? to you mrshat! How lovely to actually hear from you it’s been an age. Just wished you’d used a full stop after ‘mrs’ ha!

Don’t worry Callistemon all in order here.

My favourite is SirChenjins - very clever. I haven’t seen her here for a while but she is occasionally on Mumsnet.

Oh yes, that was a good name.
Haven't seen SirChenjins on here for a few years.

So many witty names.

My favourite is SirChenjins - very clever. I haven’t seen her here for a while but she is occasionally on Mumsnet.

I chose mine because I'm definitely not - too old, that is. I wouldn't mind changing it but I don't know how. It was not my first/second/third choice. So many good names seem to have been taken already.

I wish I had chosen a different name when joining.
Bijou has been my nick name since I was three months old when some French speaking aunts said “quell petit bijou” on seeing me for the first time.

I’m Azalea99 because there was already a Kate49, so I decided on Azalea49 but mistyped!

One of the most intriguing names is of course Chewbacca, a fabulous choice, but I can't imagine looks like her namesake.

Also love Anniebach because I immediately know she's Welsh and imagine her surrounded by rolling green hills and valleys. That makes me think of my mother's family.

Oh yes I agree Jaxjacky, EkwaNimitee is clever and also MissAdventure

I like EkwaNimitee clever. along with SueDonim

I'm still here Urms and delighted to have caused amusement to many!!! It never crossed my mind that my name could be misinterpreted!!!! It comes from a long way back when I was still working (a lot of multitasking!) so some friendly folk named me Mrs Hat as in "go and ask Mrs ........ which hat she is wearing today".
I seldom post - not much to say, but do try to catch up daily.
Keep safe and well folk and keep smiling

Whenever I see the name Marydoll it makes me think of my very favourite doll when I was a child. Mary was soft and squashy with golden hair and I loved her very much ?. I hasten to add that I do not picture the GN Marydoll as soft and squashy ?.
A poster up thread asked why people had numbers as part of their username. In my case I wanted Juno because when I joined GN I imagined that everyone would be domestic goddesses (which I definitely am not) so I would have the name of the queen of the Roman gods. For some reason I was not allowed to call myself just Juno so I had to add a number.

Don’t worry Callistemon all in order here.

I must admit I misunderstood Orlin at first, LauraNorderr, thinking he was 'all in' ie feeling worn out!

Nice to know that my username is appreciated. Had to add the extra r when I returned from a brief absence.
I like SueDonim and also think that MOnica is a clever one..
Mumofmadboys also makes me smile as I too am the mum of mad boys or perhaps I am madmumofboys.
I do think that after a while we become familiar with poster names and are drawn to some of them in spite of their name.
I must admit I’m more often drawn to the cheery and upbeat posters, too many to mention but will single out Urms, who brings sunshine to the threads whether from Manchester or Malaga.

Castlemon. And Urmstongran I too had to reregister and this easy for me to remember

?

I like Terribull as well and read it as Terrible.

I wonder if there are any Terry Bulls in RL? It's probably not unusual

I thank those who gave the thumbs up to my name, I think I had terrible in mind when I chose it, rather than bullish possibly I can be both though. I do try to live up to my name occasionally

Sometimes I wonder whether it's time for a change, I have toyed with other user names such as A.King-Legge

grannyrebel7

Usuallyright name annoys me.

I think it's meant to be a joke!

Yes I read Mrs Hat the other way as well.
I didn't. I must have led a sheltered life ?

My parents would never allow me to be called anything but Elizabeth. One day, when I was about three years old, our next-door-neighbour leaned over the garden wall and said, "Hello Lizzy Pop Bottle!" I bristled, climbed on my high horse and replied, all hoity toity, "My name's Elizabeth!" The story was retold many times so, when I needed a user name, that one seemed appropriate.

Another one I've used in the past, on another forum, came from a tourism poster promoting Scotland's "untamed beauty" but it was quickly shortened to UTB. ?
