Default How did you come up with your forum name?

Good morning everyone!!! Just a little conversation starter.
While some forum names are fairly obvious how they came to be, some are not.
I think it would be interesting to know how everyone else came up with their name for the MCF.
Mine started out as what I wanted my NHRA competition number to be for my drag car. But, as you can see by the number on the blue Monte, H317 is not the number I got.
H317=H for my first initial of my family name and the month and day of my Dad's birthday. He has since passed away so now it is a tribute.
I got down to the Division 3 bracket finals in Indianapolis and was applying for my competition license/number and H317 had already been taken . I searched the list of available numbers and finally came up with a number/letter combination that would work for me and still honor my Dad.
I ended up with P343. P for my Dad's first name and 343 for the month and year he was born.
But I already had H317 for my forum name and could not edit it once I got my NHRA number.
So that is the story of my MCF name. What is yours??

That's easy once you know the story! I thought maybe it had something to do with not being able to answer Trivial Pursuit questions or something...LOL

Montelicious- Yes, your name is most evident!! I really love your pic as I think your Monte is beautiful and I also manufacture American flags!! I would really like to find a patriotic setting around here for pics of my car. I just have to keep looking.

Barovelli is taken from a character in the Marx Brothers movie "Horse Feathers". I chose that name for my first website, a personal blog called barovelli.com and use it online in a few other places.

Barovelli is played by Chico Marx, my favorite of the brothers. His characters influenced my sense of humor while growing up.
