Where does your user name come from?

Hi everyone,
I'm curious to know what's the story behind your user name (or Alias)... There are a bunch of people that use their name (of parts of it) like myself, Albert Porter, GerryM5, Esoler...

But where does user name like Cornfedboy, Garfish, Calloway, Tireguy, SwampWalker (and many many others) come from? Any story behind?

Just curious

Mine is simply a derivation my name, Joseph Anthony Trelli.
A company where I used to work would just concatenate the first 4 letters of one's last name, initial of first name, and middle initial(if any) together. TRELli, Joseph Anthony -> TRELJA

Mine is my internic/ICANN id assigned to me when I registered the domain names for the websites I used to run. A little ubergeekish but my original username from the old BBS days was legion, which I took from a severed heads song but seemed to be already taken on most sites.

My wife initally registered with Audiogon to purchase an item that I had expressed interest in. And, I'm sure many of you have already guessed it was within the first few days after purchasing her new car. My real name is Damon Edward Robert Newman AKA 2001impala.

Happy Listening,

Damon

My name is Ross, and I love reggae music. Many of my friends call me either rossman or rosstaman. I guess it depends on their love of reggae. Actually, I love all types of music, with a special fondness for reggae.

To quote Duke Ellington: "If it sounds good, it is good."
