Pat:  I lived off and on many times with my Indian Grandfarther.  He gave nick names to all of us kids.  I am just glad that "hyper"  had not been invented yet.  My wife calls me Pokie when she likes me and all my old friends do also!  One of them is dead and the other on lives in Nebraska!  Considering some of the names I have been referred to I would choose that name a lot.  I have been thinking of having a double name tag at the Classic as I still have trouble putting two monikers together.  Sounds like there will be a lot of new faces there this year and I am anxious to meet and talk to them and maybe learn both their names.

It took a while for me to come up with a name because I have so many different hobbies and skills.  I'm a jack of all trades.  I thought, OK I'll pick "jackofalltrades" but that was taken as an email address.  So, I thought, how about "jackofallcrafts" but that was taken also.  So I just shortened it to "jackcrafty".   ;D

I was a rifleman with the Walking Dead battalion of the Ninth Marines in Vietnam. We were called grunts because that's how we lived and communicated, grunts and gestures. Funny how things stay with you.

I live in Iowa and like to bow hunt. People are from all over so I thought it would be cool to have a location as part of the name. Also WHAT IS COOLER THAN IOWA!!!!!!!!

Daniel Boone and many many others would travel from NC to Kentucky for extended hunts to collect animal hides, mostly deer. They would return and trade for what they needed. The extended hunts and hunters became known as "longhunters" for the long periods of time they hunted away from home. I'm in NC, so hence "NCLONGHUNTER". I have participated in 18th Century reenacting for many years traveling to Tnn, Kentucky and WV.

I heard many years ago that they were called "grunts" because whenever anyone asked what their IQ level was, they'd reply "huh?"  ???

Glad to have it corrected by someone that was/is one :)

 My dad's from eastern Kentucky. When we would go there on vacation I always came back with that Eastern Appallation draw and my friends would call me a hillbilly ::)  It only lasted a few days, and then it was back to talkin like a dang Yankee ;D Year I was born on the end of it.

I came to this site a year or so ago to research "how to make a wood bow" for one of my other hobbies,with no intention of actually getting hooked. so I picked a dorky name, paying homage to a Mony Python like film "Eric the Viking" (I know not a Python film but directed by one of them and starring two more). Although I am Danish on my mothers side(Jellison). Oh and my first name is Eric.

  When I first got on PaleoPlanet and then Primitive Archer I thought we had to have a fake name. So, I chose mullet because my ancestors were commercial mullet fisherman and oyster men. Mullet is the only fish to have a gizzard like fowl. Now It seems like I'm really stuck with the "mullet" nickname, now.

Joe; You're "Indian Joe" nickname really hits home, that was my Grandfathers name when he rode the rodeo circuit in the thirties.

 "Cracker", Ronnie, down here a Florida Cracker got that name for popping the bull whips driving the Scrub cows out of the Swamps during round-up, or Cattle Drives to Kissimmee or Punta Gorda.

jamie,  i hated my name as a kid because i grew up during the the bionic man and woman series on tv (jamie summers, bionic woman). used to get picked on relentlessly till one day i snapped and beat the snot out of 4 kids at my bus stop.  i constantly moved as a kid and everytime a handful of dumba$$es would start on me at whatever school i was at. id be patient and deal with it. then my mom would get the phone call. now i carry the name proudly. real name is james and its too formal for me.
