How did you come up with your username?

What a cool headed little guy you were, Beezer!

We should all use our childhood nicknames. I got my family nickname because my older brother watched "cops and robbers" shows all the time and then acted them out with me as one of the characters. My dad heard him calling me "Punk." He thought it was a funny name for a fluffy little girly-girl and I remained Punk or Punkie forever.
If I used my childhood nickname, given to me by my uncle, it would be "Dugout Doug". :(

Instead I'm Doug and I was in the cruise industry so "Sea".
 
When l joined Senior Forums over eight years ago the name Olivia attracted me and l still like it
and use it. When l asked my dad and mom why they gave me my birth name, they said they didn't know.
So the way l figure it, someone dropped me off in front of the hospital doors with a name tag
attached to me. My parents would never admit it. lf l didn't look exactly like my mom, l would have my doubts..
 

It is the name I have used all over the internet. My first name and last name combined.
I chose a name that I've never used before. Being an expatriate Kiwi I wanted to have a Kiwi name so I chose Rakaia, one of the great rivers near my part of NZ.
Waimakariri was probably a bit much of a mouthful for mist users here.
