I’ve noticed in almost every way that I’ve traveled, people like to have a road name/trail name. I myself do not have a road/trail name but I would love to hear the stories behind everyone’s and how they got them.
I'mma call you Deet.I myself do not have a road/trail name
I feel blessed. Like the bug spray deet? Since it was part of my original post I have to ask why?I'mma call you Deet.
Boom. Now ya got one!
'Cause Deet be droppin' skeets like mad! Skeet Skeet Skeet!I feel blessed. Like the bug spray deet? Since it was part of my original post I have to ask why?
I hear ya. My alias is a silly joke by a friend that I escalated into a new name. When traveling, I'm Teddy. I don't like my birth name, so I use Teddy when I can.I think there is great power in being able to name yourself.
I like the progression. Nice'Cause Deet be droppin' skeets like mad! Skeet Skeet Skeet!

I totally agree I think the best nicknames come with a good story.I think road names should be made off-line, on the road. Typically after some type of noteworthy experience takes place between two parties, or in @Faceplant's case, the ground?
I go by Brodie, which is my last name. But I developed a moniker in 2003 that has always stuck with me "the polaroid kidd" which I copied from "the kodak kidd" the first time I saw his handle. It's all in good fun, things not to be taken too seriously.
this is exactly the kind of story I was looking for. Thanks for sharingWhen I was a young teen my brothers called me grimy. Then when I was traveling I dubbed myself Poe as it was the moniker I chose when writing on walls and trains. Also, I'm a poet, so it was short for poet and of course, I can't forget the great E.Poe whose writing took me to perverse topics. On top of that, some people think I look like E.Poe
...Before Poe it was FOO. I liked FOO but people would put and L at the end of it...FOO(L)...so that had to go.
Recently I have been signing letters with D.K Poe. The DK for 'dirty kid'. Either way tho.
I think a lot about nicknames. I have dubbed some of my friends in the past and I love the concept of alternate personas or names that bring out a different side of you. But it can be hard to feel like you fit into one.
my lady is the same way. Real sweet until you piss her off😂I go by Sass. My girl thought it was appropriate. People get confused by it if they don't know me well because I am pretty laid back and chill till people push me past a certain point and then I unleash my inner sass. They never see it coming....lol.
Michael Fettuccine reminds meI agree with Brodie on the names need a story behind them. I met this one kid on the Colorado trail that just started introducing himself as Viking Sundae. Or Sunday. Never asked. But I like the former better
@Codyt if Deet sticks, your story of how you got your road name will be you got your road name in a thread about how you got your road name. Im confused.
No road name for me. I always like my name.
But.
My middle name is Felix, and my last is italian as fuck.
I always thought it funny to sign my name Michael Fettuccine .......
So some close friends will call me Michael Fettuccine bc we are idiots.
Yeah I wasn’t really intending to receive a name just looking for good stories. I don’t think deet will stick.I agree with Brodie on the names need a story behind them. I met this one kid on the Colorado trail that just started introducing himself as Viking Sundae. Or Sunday. Never asked. But I like the former better
