	When I signed onto QuietJourney years back, I gave little thought to the "handle" I'd use. I've regretted it ever since! But I've enjoyed the creativity of the names of other QJrs. One of my favorites is Wenonah Rider. Great play on words. Anyone else got any favorites? Okay, it's late and I can't sleep. Good Lord. prouboy

	My first board name was MrDB until I realized that it may cause some conflict and confusion. I changed it within a week or so and glad I did. Actually our identical initials still do cause confusion occasionally. He gets questions and requests for advice about fishing, I get high praise for how well I run this board haha.

	I had just got a new solo canoe that I loved so MagicLover was the perfect name. So how did magic Johnson get his name?

	My husband was the one who got me interested in canoeing websites, first QJ and then BWCA.com. Mainly because of the photography. Because we are Spartans and a tandem pair (having met initially on the MSU Student Rose Bowl Tour in 1965, being MSU graduates, and having been married since 1967), it just seemed natural that we would be Spartan1 and Spartan2. It's a teamwork thing.

	Hmmm... I was in such a rush to get involved & start posting to certain threads that I picked the first simple-minded handle I could think of. While there have been times I wished I had been a little more creative, my chosen appellation seems to get the job done. C'est la vie, mes amis. Jimbo

	Exactly the same scheme as BillConnor; minus the first name, and displaying only first character and last three characters of last name with 24 characters from the center of last name truncated out for simplicity

	my buddies in the UP called me Jimmer, my wife's name is Marcie so... although she is not a member here and seldom accompanies me on trips. It was a carryover from our shared email address. kinda boring, eh?
