My real name is Jim and I am in Arizona. I constantly try to figure how some of your names came about but some of them are a mystery. Tell us how your name came into being...???????????
 

OH mine is a very boring story Jim..I've been on interent forums for many years almost always with the same user name, and when I joined SF I was a moderator of another forum , so I didn't want to use the same ID ..so trying to think of a name that wasn't already in use, I glanced out the window into the garden and the first thing I saw was my Holly Tree...just replaced tree with a rhyming word and there we have it..HollyDolly it has been ever since..
 

I was one of the older Captains at United and one of the younger new pilots that was hired before I retired called me oldman. He said it was out of respect because to him he thought that anyone my age with my experience and never having an accident or an "event" earned the title.

I didn't see it that way, but it wasn't worth causing a fuss over, so I let it go. Our Supervisor overheard him call me oldman one day and the next thing that I knew he was in the office, or as we called it, the woodshed. After that, I was called "Sir." So, I use oldman to remind me that it is out of respect. (lol)

I got that one straight away the first time I saw it, the song Arkansas by the wilburn brothers is my ringtone..


One that I used years ago on a forum was sikofants.....that took a while for people to get their head around
 
O.K. Mine's about a bad attitude. On other Web sites I had always been Sowhat, because I think that people make such big deals and take issue over the most meaningless garbage. Then I tried getting on a gardening site and Sowhat was taken.
I have had a running joke with my grandson about my being an introvert, and all I want to do is hide under my rock, but people keep turning it over. So gardening site? Underock it became. They required a number, so I added the 1.
 
When I was little, my father used to take us to a small bungalow near the beach, and he stayed in the city working, just seeing us on the weekends. He bought a small used wooden sailboat (minus the sails) and used it to take us out fishing, he always said that it was broad in the beam and very seaworthy. He named the boat SeaBreeze, and I used the name to honor his memory, and it brings back good feelings of my childhood. :sentimental:
 
Only as a commercial for an organic pesticide, QuickSilver! Just kidding! I also love musk essential oil, but no way am I setting myself up with a name like MuskWoman. Lol on the floor! Can you imagine the unbridled lust? Ooooh?!!
 
Oldman, when we were in the Army, "the old man" was how everybody referred to their commander -- didn't have anything to do with age. Of course, it wasn't used to his face, but that's what the commander was referred to, as in "we are all in deep doo doo if the old man finds out about this."

I dunno why I came up with Butterfly -- it just came to me. Doesn't have anything to do with anything.
