I Know It's Probably Been Done Before But How Did You Choose Your Nickname

Since I'm new here and curious I'll bet there's some good stories about your nick.

I used Lee cause it is my name, middle name but the one I'm known by. If someone called me by my given first name of Mary I would think they were talking to someone else.
 

Mine is my e-mail address user name. An amalgam of mine and hubby's Christian names....far too difficult to change!
 

My nicknames thru life have been chosen by others, but I chose my own for here, and it is based on what a union name might be...
 
Obviously, my nickname is not "Classic Rockr", but is "Cody". Real first name is "William" aka "Bill", but haven't used "Bill" since 1989. At that time, I got involved in rodeo and didn't think "Bill" was very Western sounding, so had everyone calling me Cody. Before retiring, I would sign all Purchase Orders as "Cody", but government docs/forms I would put William. Sometimes I would write William and then Cody in parenthesis......showing it was a nickname.
 
Sunny, that's great. My most recent pet was a cat named Myrtle, so, well you get the idea...

Funny. .. I've always hated my real first name, so I adopted Bonnie .. and I hated my middle name too (Shirley) ..

so I always told people that my name was Bonnie Lee was I was a young'un... Bonnie stuck, but Lee didn't.
 
I was just toying around with letters and numbers that sometimes sound like eachother, the way
some folks do when ordering a special license plate for their car; like: 1= won, 2=too, 4=for, 8=ate etc.
which would spell a word. So, I came up with a word which describes my philosophy in a way.

As far as "Falcon" goes, I really wanted "Eagle", but it was already taken. I used to fly like an eagle when
I was a pilot in the Air Force.
 
My birth name is Alonzo and as a youth I was called Lonnie then as an adult it was Lon. They could have called me Al I guess, but I'll stick with Lon. Middle name is Jay, but has never been used.
 
Good choice oakapple, I like it.

I picked Raven because it is a simple name, easy to remember and it wasn't already taken. :)
