Re: User names
Well I like westerns, Cowboys, lever action rifles and single action revolvers and double barrels.
Used to have some horses, and helped my brother raise a few cattle.
My fathers family came here in the early 1900's from Portugal.
On a couple other gun forums I use the old Family name, Pereira.
Wanted something different over here.
Vaquero is Spanish for cowboy.
Nice thread Mark.

Yep, many of these started with the old "eldest son" tradition, hence Bill Williams, which started as William Williamson, Thomas Thomasson, stuff like that. The "son" gets dropped (sometimes) over the centuries and you end up with Tim Tims and Evan Evans, in some cases, and Tom Thompson, Richard Richardson, John Johnson in other cases.
Frederick Faust was a writer of Western pulp fiction who used the pen name Evan Evans (as well as Max Brand), among others. Sometimes he was published under both pen names...

Re: User names
Really enjoying all responses!. My first name is actually Stephen. My entire family goes by their middle names though. Kinda odd and I don't to this day know why.

Very nice shotgun!!PT7 wrote:My first and favorite shotgun was a Benelli Nova 12ga Tactical Pump. When I had it, I wasn't a member of the Henry Forum, but a member of the Shotgun Forum. So onward.
The capacity of my shotgun was 5 rounds, and I added a 2-round extension. I named it Boom, but it was actually a
Pump Times 7.
That's my moniker "story" --- here is Boom in its "glory!"

Re: User names
I thought I had replied to this one long ago. Turns out Sir Henry started a thread in 2016 it has a lot of good ones. For a laugh check out White Squirrels post.

Anyway mine is pretty self explanatory unless you don’t know what a Seabee is. I have referred to myself as a dirt sailor as well.
Look up John Wayne in The Fighting Seabees. We are pretty much all just like him.
I joined the Navy as a Seabee at age 18 and "Retired" at 38. Been working toward actual retirement since 1992.

Re: How did you choose your forum name?
great story!White Squirrel wrote:I have hearing issues. When my oldest daughter was planning her wedding, I overheard her and my wife talking about having "white squirrels" on the wedding cake. I asked them why in the world she wanted white squirrels on her wedding cake. To which they both replied simultaneously, "White swirls you idiot!"
So, since then I have been known as White Squirrel!
BTW, I found a ceramic white squirrel and had the caterer put it on top of the wedding cake!
