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

I've always had a penchant for Russian/Eastern European women..."dorogoy" is Russian for "dear man," and 54 is for the year of my birth.

Some of my friends think I'm often grumpy and impatient with their lack of audio knowledge, so I almost picked "Van Alstine" as a nickname. (Apologies, Frank, but it has been written that the products are sweeter than the man!)
My user name is my initials. I know, what's so note worthy about that. Well when I was signing up for A'gon I ment to use the name Stereojunky but I put the name and initials in the wrong places and so I'm now known by my initials on A'gon. I know, kind of silly but I thought it was worth a chuckle......John
I got tired of picking cool names and then finding out someone beat me to it, had an old Sonny Chiba streetfighter video sitting there and that was the name he used in the movie ,Terry Sugury aka Tsugury!
It was an easy pick for me & covers a lot of area. I drive a tractor trailer & it's standard business practice to call the truck driver "driver". Also I thought driver would help identify with audio as it is one of the essential components and lastly since A-gon is made possible with our computers it is fitting that a driver is also a computer device.

Registering here was the first time I used it & although I've tried to use it on other sites (like ebay) it's usually taken.
Bluenose is a nickname that used to signify you're from Nova Scotia. Just like we used to call Newfoundlanders from the rock, "Nuffies". I just thought noone would be using "Bluenose". Of course they used to also call us "herring chokers". Of course we had to have "blue" potatoes to go with the fish....
