Explain your name...

[Scarecrow22]

I have never been very trend-right. On a trip one of my friends pointed out that a scarecrow in the field was better dressed than I was...

The situation has improved only slightly as I have "grown up"

[Scott M]

Many years ago Cedric Ceballos was playing for the LA Lakers (mid-90's). He went on the radio and told everyone that he was upset that he should be the Lakers franchise player. So Jim Rome started calling him 'chise. So since then I have made my internet id's da_chise with my playing number, 31. da_chise31. It's funny because Cedric Ceballos sucked back in the day, for those of you who don't know him.

[ozzie]

Cedric "The Ice" Ceballos 1995 (what ever year that was) Slam Dunk Champion is how he signed an autograph for me!!! Cedric Ceballos classic!!!! I never thought that name would be brought up on a fishing forum!!!!!!

[Wayne Ek]

This one is easy. Agape, from Agape Fishing Guides. And Wayne for my dad, also a Wayne. But Ek... that's our surname, that's a differant story... Well my great grandparents came over from Sweden. Both great grandma and grandpa were swedish/norwegian and baby Eric (my grandpa) was... well... just a baby. As luck would have it the immigration official was also a norwegian. Knowing that this young swedish/norwegian child would probably have trouble assimilating into the culture and melting pot of the time, not to mention school (my god... the man had to be a soothsayer) he decided to bless this family with an easier name to remember and spell. To this day I thank my lucky stars that Ole was taken... Wayne Ole... just not getting it done. So he went with Ek. Short, easy and to the point. And for all you telemarketer's, IT'S EK... not Elk,Eek,Alk and on and on. And to think my wife said I may have to much time on my hands around this time of year.

[fishin magician]

I was out on Lake Michigan years ago and there was a boat named Fishin Magician. I thought it had a neat ryhme to it.

[doubleUcubed]

My initials to my name WWW. I couldn't figure out to get W to the third power/superscript so I just imagined what it sounded like and how to spell out w cubed. Plus that's what everyone calls me anyway!

[Pickled Pike]

You are what you eat!!

[hovermn]

I have a couple of passions in my life. Fishing and Hovercraft. Actually, they should probably be in reverse order. Yes, I know, nothing should come before fishing, but my hovercraft does. So, my name stands for Hovercraft of Minnesota. My HSOforum is hovermn.com and my license plate is the same. It's sick, no?!

[rcthd]

First letter of each faimly members name with the last letter being last name. But I need to add a k in there had a extra one show up

(rcthd) soon to be rcthkd

Seeya

Rick

[OldBear]

For 32 years I drove around being called Bear or Smokeybear by the truckers so as a retired Iowa State Trooper I became Oldbear..

[wolfman-k]

I used to have a full beard back when I worked in a beef packing plant looong ago, so some of the co-workers started calling me 'wolfman', I guess I looked a little like Wolfman Jack at the time. The k is my first initial.

[Esoxmn]

Esox= muskie and pike MN is minnesota, and MNesox was already taken. I also could'nt think of anything better at the time. Also know as GDS whith are my initals.

[cybermuskie]

I starting using this nick back before I learned what cybering was considered on the net. (Oh the aweful e-mails)

But my thinking was:

cyber = I am in cyber space

Muskie = I love fishin' them ski's

[Aquaman01]

Seemed appropriate for a guy who likes DC Golden Age superheroes, anything to do with water, and fishing. Maybe I'm a 'fish whisperer'?

[RiverKarhu]

I live near the Bear River and have Finnish ancestry. Karhu is Suomi for bear.

[Skitterpop]

Named after my favorite Rapala smallmouth bass bait.

[PERCHJR]

Hey guys, I would think you got the PERCH part, and the JR of course I am a JR.!!!

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FISHING!!!

[shortfatguy]

well i was trying to open a hotmail account a few years back and every name i picked was taken so i thought long and hard about a name NOONE would want and came up with shortfatguy my family laughs when ever they see it since i am 6'5" and only weigh around 200 lbs!

riverkarhu where do you live on the river?

[zelek]

Now that's funny shortfatguy!! LOL!!

Oh..and congrats on the nice buck you shot this year. The story behind it has got me thinking about hoofing it deep into the swamp in the area where I hunt.

[shortfatguy]

zelek if you can find some highground that is hard to access i would recomend taking the time to check it out! it could pay off!!

[tunrevir]

My name came from my fishing partners they say that I'm a rivernut but that was already taken so I tried it backwards and got the handle, Tunrevir~

[jonny_redhorse]

[Wish2Fish]

Okay, nothing clever here. I just wish to fish about every day.

[juggs]

I know what you guys are thinking............but you're wrong. It actually goes way back to my kindergarten days. Too long to explain. Just a couple of knuckle-headed six-year olds being knuckle-headed six-year olds.

[knoppers]

mine is a nickname givin to me years ago, its close to my name konop. seems all of us back in the 80's had nicknames. and it was more important for me to have one since me and two of my buddies were named kevin. so I have stuck with it.
