I was a bowhunter education instructor beginning in the early 90's and also gave archery seminars at the local schools.One of the students coined the nickname.

My last name has 14 letters. Bisch is the first 5 letters. Pretty much everyone except my wife had been calling me Bisch ever since I got in the fire dept way back in 1981!!!!! I even had “BISCH” instead of my full last name on my FD turnout coat!!!!

Mine was on my birth certificate, I have kinda' gotten used to in the last 70 years and don't want to change.

Ditto.  I never have gotten the point of "handles".  :dunno:

Rufuss was the name of a very large red bull that was very verbal. He sounded so mean, all he wanted was his back scratched

I had just come back from shooting when I joined the site, and that’s the way I shot that day. :archer:

I played a lot of baseball, and I was pretty fast back then (way back then). So, I picked up that nickname. What's baseball without nicknames used in the dugout? Catfish, Bambino, etc. -- classic stuff.

Otto is my nickname, but that had already been used. My friends also call me doubleo or big o.

Got mine from a smoking hot bartender chic in Greenville Sc. My accent was so thick being straight out of the mountains of E Tennessee that she started calling me Tennessee and it stuck. All my old friends from that time in my life only know me as that. I’ll be honest she could’ve called me anything she wanted as long as she called me. WOW the good old day are gone but far from forgotten.

I had my name handed to me by other kids about the time Star Trek hit the airwaves (name is Kirk) and I got tired of fighting it, so when I started using screen names, I went for the familiar.

When I joined the site, I thought I needed a handle aside from my name.  I was into striped bass fishing on the Hudson. It's a tidal water that flows in both directions.  I thought the Oxy moron of a river that flows in a circle was funny but technically possible.  It's also a play on wanka tanka or the thought of what comes around goes around(karma), poison the water and you poison yourself..... 
Relax,

Just a lack of imagination, I guess.
