Your posting name

[Dan Thiem]

I don't know if this has been discussed earlier here or not, but alot of people that post on here have some very unique names. I was just wondering how everybody came up with their own. Mine, I guess that was my parents idea. So if you don't mind, maybe tell us how did you come up with yours.

Not much thought went into mine when I registered three years ago. LaVoi is just my last name.

[Guest]

for some reason I was blessed with the abillity to shoot very well when it comes to hunting with much work.A couple of friends had muzzy broadheads ingrave the name on some broadheads and the name stuck.

[Ely Lake Expert]

The reason I have my name is that I think I may have spent more hours fishing on Ely lake in my life than I have spent sleeping. I love going to other lakes, but when you live on one lake and have a boat there to use it is just easier.

[rich4walleyes]

My name is Rich and I fish for walleyes.

[Gissert]

A friend and I were sitting in the Underwood Legion about 12 years ago, back when it was a regular bar called the Pub.

An old farmer came in and ordered a beer. A few minutes later, he points to a jar in the cooler and says in a heavy Minnesota/Scandinavian accent, "Hey der, take and giff me one of dem pickled gisserts, der."

I chuckled, and wrote "gissert" down on a cocktail napkin. We proceeded to make up more phonetic spellings and write them down. Gloves=cluffs, brain=prane, etc.

Once I went online, Gissert came roaring back so I decided to use it as a screen name.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Boilermaker by trade. Pretty cool to have a job named after a beverage.

Pretty easy one. Its my last name. Alot of people I know don't even know my first name, they just go with 'hanson'.

Melon was given to me in elementary school, my baseball coach started it because my first day at practice I took a line drive in the head! Man that was a long time ago!! It's also similar to my last name.

[BigDaddy]

I had a growth spirt at age 15 and went from 220 pounds to 270 pounds. A friend started calling me Big Daddy and it stuck.

Since then I've more than doubled my age and I'm only at 335. Thank God that growth rate didn't continue...

[Wavey Davey]

My dad called me Wavey Davey or Davey Wavey when I was a little kid. My name is Dave. I've been around lakes and boats all my life. Seemed like a good fishing site name.

I have a couple of boats, if I ever get a big boat, I'm going to name it "Wavey Davey".

[sunnyj]

Back in collage had a girlfriend who drank Sun Country Wine Coolers so I always had some in the fridge. All my buddies drank beer and thought I was a wuss, so they called me Suncountry. That name was too long so they shortend it to sunny. Had to add the j, first letter of first name, as sunny was taken
