Most people online have a reason for their choice of user name. Outside of obvious reasons ( like your user name is part of your real name) give the history of why or how your user name came to be .

    I'll go first. I had a pure breed German shepherd. He was named Rebel when I bought him. He was stubborn and opinionated so I adopted him and kept the name and assumed it as my sn. The _26 is just easier since my email follows same format since apparently up through _25 was taken .

    It's easy to remember. I have too many passwords I have to remember. First and last initial, year born, year graduated high school. Boring. Maybe I'll change it. Probably not.

    I've been sillygoose since dial-up internet, and some version of it on MFP since 2010. I have no idea why but it's stuck now. I even have bike decals printed up with it.

    I'm not even very silly.

    Why Spondypete? My name is Peter and I have a form of Rheumatoid Arthritis that is called Ankylosing Spondylitis. My (very good) Rheumatologist calls people with that disease Spondies and ever since she called me a Spondy in 2002, I have been calling myself SpondyPete. So now you know what the Spondy stands for.

    I just had to choose something that wasn't chosen. So, I thought about things in astronomy. Binary Pulsar is a very interesting star combination. So, I liked it.
