I've always liked that name. I know the invenor's nephew ... although my friend's last name is not Zamboni ... his first name is Tony ... so we always called him Tony Zamboni.

Hmm... Porky, you make me think... (Danger, Will Robinson!)
From the Zamboni song to Minnesota's hockey stature, I figured a user name like Zamboni was more likely to be from that direction (and it is). Thru friends in Santa Cruz, your story about Tony does connect to a niece of the founding generation of Zamboni. Of course the niece is now a great grandmother... with her houses in Mammoth, Palm Springs, the 'Beach,' and the 'Ranch.' Last name - Mokler. Ring a bell?

I use Gordon Watt because that's what my mommy named me. Since then she has come up with a few other names.
My wife has also called other choice names.

Mine is because the sd 90 mac is my favorite locomotive. I collect n gauge toy trains, and when I read an article on this locomotive I just liked it. Being a nurse I needed a different type of hobby, and collecting n scale cars became it.

The M & M comes from something my husband's father does. He sends out group letters to all of his sons and their wives, he writes all of our initials at the top of the letter (Dear M & M, J & S, B & H) and then he circles the appropriate pair and sends it off. The Cape come from where we live, Cape Cod.

I chose my name because if you speak it into a tape recorder and play it backwards it sounds like tuhnit which in the ancient gnostic language of the Hitittes means absolutely nothing. I can relate to nothing....ergo...Tin Hut

Picked my Forum "name" (66Overlander) on purpose so I wouldn't have to explain what trailer I have when I asked the inevitable "thousand questions". This seemed like a good idea at the time, however, we are already considering upgrading to a newer trailer which could eventually make this name obsolete. Can it be changed and still retain your posting history & "rivet rating"?
In retrospect, I probably should have used a variation of my long used "on line" name "Kodiak Joe", and quite likely will if we ever change trailers and I can change my Forum name (but no need to do so yet). The "history" on "Kodiak Joe" is that about 10 years ago I joined a Fantasy Football League and needed a name for my team. At the time, I was an engineer working on General Motors Medium Duty Trucks, which were named the Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC Topkick Not knowing what a "Topkick" is, my football team became the "Kodiaks" and I for some reason started signing all of my emails "Kodiak Joe". Now most of my "on line/email" names are some sort of variation on this theme.

I picked my name in the 60's. It was a CB handle. I was big and fat then not now. So I picked Hippo.
The name is easy to use.

I like puns and wordplay and since I spend WAY too much time using Adobe Photoshop I took 'fotochop' as my e-baye handle and just kept it here...
also, my avatar is my all-time favorite logo and greatest piece of industrial graphics ever (if anyone knows who created this, pm me..) the legendary "mr. horsepower" of clay smith cams...a favorite of hot-rodders the world over...now all I need is a '63 stroked Impala to replace my Tundra ;-)

It is interesting to see how many people here have different user names now, from when they originally posted in this thread.

Needing a 7 digit one number password in the early 90's I used the first two letters of my first and middle names, a couple y's and my favorite number. Amazing how long these "handles" endure!

I've had a bunch of different handles/monikers/screen names over my 2+ decades of using computer message forums and chats. I chose this one when I was an undergrad in college and it's the one that seems to have stuck.
Pretty simple--
University of Texas Electrical Engineer, 1994.
Always interesting to find out tidbits about people from their usernames.

I saw someone who had used the word "alumatube" in one of their posts, and it really fits to describe our 310 moho, so I made it mine.
My standard ID is spitfiresuz, since I LOVE Triumph Spitfires and vintage-race one.
