I have been on OB for a while now and have noticed that many of you have some quite unusual forum names. Where do they come from if you don't mind me asking?  Mine is fairly obvious!

I use Daizy on everything. I have used it for so long I cant really remember where it came from. I guess it could mean a flower, a cow Actually thinking about it I think its shortened from "woopsie daisy" from years back when I was in love with Notting Hill, and Hugh Grant -------------

My sisters nickname is bean and my brothers is blue lol I was always biddy but when I got meningitis I lost my memory and my sister wanted me to know how special I was (I couldn't even remember my family) so she said I was a babe inside and out and it stuck.

My nickname was "Charly" before I had Hannah (I wonder why ;)).
Then Hannah was born so I changed it. Hannah's our little Pickle (cos that's what she looked like at her 12 week scan)...and I'm her Mama. -------------

DH chose my name. He's a huge Jim Morrison fan and if he had a forum handle it would be Lizard King or Mr Mojo Rising (something Doors related). Anyway he suggested MrsMojo, I thought it sounded pretty cool and since my name is Jo anyway it fit -------------

I think mines pretty obvious LMAO, didn't really think about being Mum to two lol
Here I was thinking this was about where our real names have come from LOL until I read the thread. But for hilarity my Mum picked my real name from the Johnson Baby book & thought that it would be common If you want to know my full name click my profile, as you can see it's pretty uncommon ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

My surname is Little and so when I got pregnant DH and I and other family said we were having a little Little.
Ironic now because he's going to be between 9 and 10pd so I should probably change my name to bigLittle!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

what a cool thread!!
mine's a bit boring really.... my name's Anita, but everyone in my family calls me "nita", and I developed a reputation for being a bit of a gypsy when i went through a stage of never living in one place for longer than about 3 months... that's all changed now but I'm still a gypsy at heart! ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

Okay so I used this name on the first forum that I joined... it was a sporting forum... RunningT Looked normal on there... and I used to run.
Then on the next forum I joined... a wedding website it looked pretty strange... And on this web site well......"girl that used to run but now sits on couch" is too many letters so I guess I am stuck with it.
Oh and people call me T -------------

Mine is because everyone usually calls me Kyz, Kys. At college a friend used to spell it as Kaiz and it just sort of stuck. 23 is my birthday date and dont ask me why there is a one at the end, I had the same for my bebo account and assume there was already a Kaiz23 on there so I just added a one to the end.
Have tried to change it to just "kaiz" on here but theres not enough characters. ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |
