It wasn't. Britons have been using the word 'bloody' as a swear word meaning 'very' (as in 'that's bloody repulsive!'), or simply to add impact to a phrase (as in 'Bloody Hell!') since the Eighteenth Century! The word is a contraction of 'by my lady', which is presumably a reference to the Virgin Mary.
For the record, I don't mind whether people call me by my real name (Anna) or by my net-name. If you do choose the latter, though, just call me Middlesboogie. 'One, Two' is a title, like 'Ms'.
