What the....oh?!

I think you're all kind of right, that Ali08, (with numbers!), meant that the scary names sound a bit aggressive to start with, but they can turn out to be very sweet meek and mild posters. That's why I laughed at * Terribull* because I can't remember any hostile charging at anyone from this poster, and indeed they could be terrible in a good way. eg. Naughty but nice.

I'm off to do a few hours in school later today and there is a teacher called Mr. Cross who is very nice, but the kids are still wary!!

I always wondered about the significance of Flyinghandbags apart from it being the name of a gay venue in Blackpool

My username is my initials plus the year I was born. Not very original I know. If I could change it I would be Atomheart.

I was LoopyLoo but someone else had LoupyLou so I asked to change mine. I was watching Jungle Book with my DGCs and thought of this one ?

For me it was because I was always having some bright idea within our group, of where or what we could do. The response was often laughter with them calling me a Barmey……. As for other names I must admit I read a thread and at times move on because of the posters who are on it and I know I will just get bogged down. There are names that give my imagination a description of what the person looks like, one name the person is small and petit, another she is a tall country woman

Juliet27

I think lauraNorder is a good one

That name is very amusing indeed.

I think you are wrong Bluebelle as you and perhaps a couple of others have not read and understood the whole of the OP.
Ali08 says, ‘names pop up, one in particular always gets me going, although they are not at fault’. It is the name and not anything else.This is intended as a lighthearted thread.
If posters continue to misunderstand then of course this discussion will go the wrong way.

Prentice you said No Lucca and JaneJudge you have it quite wrong I believe it is about looking at names of posters and not about what you think of the person behind the name

I think it’s you that has it wrong prentice because of one line in the original post .
One in particular always gets me going so there we have it those few words will get some people thinking and puzzling some will think it’s aimed at them, some will puzzle over who it means, others will pass it by and not notice it but that’s they very bit that will put the cat amongst the pigeons…. without that it would have been a fun thread
Most people are playing the game and looking at the lovely clever, funny names but some are commenting on the posters themselves and I think Janejudge is correct and it ‘could’ easily slide into distaste

I m often envious (in the nicest possible way) of those that chose these witty names I just grabbed the first thing I could think of that I liked…. boring me

Me too I had to be ‘1’

Also I do wonder why some posters use numbers in their user name.

Don't know why because obviously others did not have to.

There's one I see and think "why, just why"?

I've not been here that long but already there are some names I recognise or smile at.

Casdon

I think the best name is Sue Donim, that’s clever.

Yes, one of the best ones.

Another name I liked but haven't seen for a while was Sloeginny (I think I've spelt it right).

Blossoming

Me too Urms. Not a new Mister Men book then

That really made me chuckle Blossoming! Very witty. ?

MerylStreep

Ali08
I have reactions but none I can repeat here ?

Yes, it’s exactly that!

Granny23

Urms in my case it is because I AM - GRANNY TO THREE dgc.

I always read your name as Granny Twenty Three ?
Duh!

A Big Bertha is a golf club....the driver or No1 club. I used to be Teetime and posters told me I was spelling it wrong!

I read Terribull as Terrible

I love the user names on Mumsnet. Some are almost a whole sentence.

MawtheMerrier

There’s also a poster who seems to tell us where to strike
“Hit here”

Interesting, I read this username as Hi there.
