Mine started when I first started on e-bay and needed to take an internet username.
I wanted Cessna152 after the 'plane I learned to fly on, but it was already taken.
Then I tried to choose Towser after a wee balgair or scottie dog which my mother made many years ago from a World War II pattern for making toys from old clothing. Despite being a very simple stuffed toy with buttons for eyes and a piece of felt for a tongue Towser became the family mascot and my mother ensured his longevity by re-covering him in fresh fabric of a similar pattern to the original in 1987 about five years before she died.

The usename Towser was already taken too.
So I tried running the two names together as Cessna152towser which was accepted and has been my internet handle ever since.
