The old thread "So, what's your user name" got archived because noone posted in it since May -06.
It's a thread where all members can explain the origin of their user name.
If you're a new menber, go to the old thread and read about us SFN old-timers. (I'm here)
Then, why don't you make a similar post in this thread?
(Archived threads are automatically locked, and after that they cannot be resurrected)

I'm not a new member, but I'll start.
When I met my to-be wife, Gloria, in 1957, I was 28 and she was 17. At that point in my life I had sown several carloads of wild oats and was a bit blasé. But I was also half, not whole. I was interested in but one thing when I first met Gloria, exactly what you are thinking.
But as a fairly mature young man, travelled, educated, sophisticated, I was immediately taken by her intelligence, spirit, and thirst for information and knowledge, as well as by her beauty. In a short time I was entranced, apparently she was too, we became a couple and everyone started calling us "B and G" We were married a year later, and it has been B and G ever since, into the electronic age, it was a natural for e-mail, signatures, notes, attributions of all sorts.
We both became whole in 1958 and have been ever since! |

"Hoosier"
It came from the question "Who's your father" if you're from Indiana.
As to when and where it originated, who knows. |

[Dr. Nick]Hi, everybody![/Dr. Nick]
Haven't been around for a while. Here's a post to prove I still exist.
Oh, yeah... sts60 is the number of a Shuttle mission I worked on. I just wanted to cough up a user name quickly on some forum, and it was available, and I've been too lazy to come up with another one since. How boring is that? |

As a child I was reckless...My father alternated between calling me Crash and Calling me "Baby Bull" (I once tackled a drunk whom I thought had hurt him, and when he tells the story he says I cam out of nowhere like a baby bull).
I am a chef by trade.
When I first got online (in the stone age) we were only allowed 8 chars for a screen name. so chefcrsh. ETA: Obviously with this limit chefbabybull was out of the question, and chefbull while perhaps appropriate for other reasons didn't capture the spirit of the original nick name.
Mundane, I know. |

Not much of a story to tell; 'Filthy Phil' is the road name I was given by a well-known, East Coast motorcycle club back in the early '60s. I was a charter member. It has stuck with me for lo, these many decades. Oddly enough, SFN is the only place where I use it these days.
