I am named after a group of rather ugly fungi
http://www.grzyby.pl/gatunki/Xylaria.htm
But I think it is a pretty name and I have used it as role play name for years.
I have a south park avatar. but I looked just like Toddy with ginger hair. So I had to hunt down this one. Jackalope having antlers and Xylaria hypoxylon being antler fungus .

The Antler fungus
. If I started seeing jackalopes I think I would start to get concerned about something 
.
I looked at the link and I don't think I've ever seen that sort of fungus
before. Not ugly at all
before. Not ugly at all

Johnny Cash - 'Big Bad John' my dad used to play it occasionally when I was a kid!:
Every mornning at the mine, you could see him arrive.
He stood 6 foot 6, weighed 245.
Kind of broad at the shoulders, narrow at the hip.
And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John.
Big John
Big John
Big Bad John
Big John
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone.
He didn't say much, kind of quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you'd just said hi to Big John.
Somebody said he came from New Orleans,
Where he got into a fight over a Cajun Queen.
And a crash and a blow from a huge right hand,
sent a Lousiana fella to the promise land.
...
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine,
when a timber cracked and men started crying.
Minors were praying, and hearts beat fast
and everybody thought they had breathed thier last
cept' John.
Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell,
walked a giant of a man that the minors knew well.
Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan,
and like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, Big John
...
And with all of his strength, he gave a mighty shove.
Then a minor yelled out, 'theres a light up above!'.
And 20 men scrambled from a 'would be' grave
now theres only one left down there to save, Big John.
With jacks and timbers, they started back down,
then came that rumble way down in the ground.
And as smoke and gas smelched out of that mine,
everybody knew it was the end of the line, for Big John.
...
Now they never re-opend that wortheless pit,
they just placed a marble stand in front of it.
These few words are written on that stand,
'At the bottom of this mine, lies a big, BIG man, Big John'
Ok, I'm only 6'5 but what's an inch between friends!

Harmonica is a name i use on a few forums - it is a character from the movie 'Once upon a time in the West'. The character played by Charles Bronson is a lone stranger with a harmonica who no one knows the real name of, making me a nameless man!

Mine comes from one of my favourite series of fiction books, the main character is called Mack Bolan and his radio callsign is StonyManOne, so I just use the Stonyman part.
Actually my user name is my real name, and I am only married to someone who only works for an accountant (see Monty Python "Why Acountancy is not boring) so it is not for this reason that my user name is boring. As I have several nicknames including "Mountain Man" "Gimli" "Stone Bear" "Oi You!" and "You Little ****" I felt I was spoilt for choice and could not make up my mind SOooooo - I got boring!
Fairly self explanatory - Lifelong love of Gorillas, My gym is called Silverbax (deliberately mispelt so as not to appear a bit naff!) and after considerable years of having been a slave to the iron game, my wife reckons I am Silverback shaped
I chose 'TheGreenMan' as my user name, not because of the mythical spirit of the woods (well, maybe a little), but because I wear a great deal of green coloured clothing. A somewhat dull answer, but then, I am something of a dullard <chuckle> Oh, and because 'The Green Man', with the inter-word spacing had too many characters, and was truncated to something incomprehensible on the British Blades site
Great thread starter, Jack. A subject Ive often wondered about myself, and the answers have been some of the most interesting Ive read on a thread anywhere. Many thanks to all!
Best regards,
