Why did you pick your user name......???

thriftlady_2

Mine is because I try to be thrifty and I wanted my gender to be clear. I wish I had chosen Thriftgirl now because Thriftlady makes me feel a bit old especially with my crusty loaf avatar - people must think I look like Mrs Bridges from Upstairs Downstairs -mind you if I can remember Upstairs Downstair I suppose I am pretty old:rotfl:

I think Cookbookaddict might have been a good one for me too:D

I just wish I could edit it so that it has a capital T. I'm so anal about punctuation and it really bugs me!

Teenie_D

My Mum used to call me Teenie when I was younger and I forgot all about it until a friend started calling me Teenie too-I presume it comes from my real name being Kristine. The D bit is my surname.

As an aside, what happens on this forum if somebody suddenly decides they hate their original pseudonym and want to reregister under a new identity. Do they keep all their posting "medals" or have to go back to scratch and earn them all again?

Anyone point us to the answer?
I don't feel Newly Retired any more. I've got used to it now.

Bit like me and my username then :rotfl:

MoaningMyrtle

My children were watching a Harry Potter film at the time, I've never actually watched any of the films myself.

Other names I tried were already taken. I have a different username on each forum I frequent.

mrs_depp_2

Mine is just wishful thinking. I know he's taken but I can dream....

huston_kw

Years ago my sister use to say "huston we have a problem" (apollo 13) and I'd reply "Elementary, my dear Watson" (Sherlock Holmes). The kw is my intials.

When we signed up for email accounts I choose huston_kw she choose watson_mw. I don't think she users hers anymore but I use mine for most accounts.

Glitzkiss

It was the first thing that came into my head when I signed up.

I'd just been sent one of those find your p0rn name emails and Glitzkiss was the result. When I signed up to MSE I never planned to post - in fact I only signed up to thank people on the freebies and competitions boards. As I couldn't be bothered to think of a suitable username I signed up as Glitzkiss. Then I found myself sucked into MSE world and I've been Glitzkiss ever since

As it sounds completely unlike me it's handy for keeping my anonimity :D And a few users on here make assumptions about me based on the username which always amuses me :rotfl:

Teenie_D

LOL-if I had used my "p0rn name" I would be Daisy Ticklefire :D

joella

First 2 letters of first name and first 4 of surname if that makes sense !
