How'd you get that name?

[Swockster]

OK, I don't know how far this will go but how did you all come up with some of your user names? I find them quite interesting. As for me, Sigmas were refered to as Swocks early on because of their similarity to Glocks. I'm a Sigma guy, hence the name "Swockster". How about you?
