Some of us have very intriguing handles (forum names). Some are self explanatory and some are not.
I think it would be interesting to hear the story of how some of those names came to be.
I will start with mine:

DIESELGAL: I drive a diesel volkswagen beetle and my hubby is a mobile diesel mechanic. I am a gal therefore.....DieselGal

I acquired the "Handle" in 1975, been using it ever since, for all my legal actives on radio, and online.

Great topic...I look forward to hearing the stories.

Mine is a combination of two nicknames, Lucy, given to me by my husband. When he used to work third shift, he'd pop in the front door in the morning and announce, "Lucy, I'm home!" in his best Ricky accent. The names stuck for both of us. He expanded it to Darth Lucy upon thinking about the anticipated sounds he'll hear from me if I ever get my CPAP....story for another thread.

No, Tilly is not my real name.

This is a "secret" handle I use on boards where I don't want to be connected to the other things I post things about my real life (LiveJournal, MySpace ... hey, I'm only 28, give me a break!).

Tilly is the main character in one of my favorite plays, The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds.

This is the license plate on my Miata. Convertible? Rain? Not good. When I found out that condensation in the hose is called Rain, I thought it would fit here, too.

This should develop into a fun thread to read!

I was (for 35 years) a reference librarian, hence the 'Book'; I have a deep, life-long fondness for bears (and rather resemble one these days!), hence the 'bear'.
