Default How did you come up with your TOTV name?

We see some creative names on here. How did you come up with your TOTV name? I came up with mine after being in a less than stellar marriage. Well, I finally got it right, hence the name Happinow. You wonder why I spelled it this way? Because I wanted my license plate to read Happynow but someone else already had that so I changed it to Happinow. My husband's plate reads Happitoo!

Jim is my given name and Pete is a family name earned because I was born on my fathers payday. I was called Payday at first, then PD, Petey then Pete.

When I introduce myself, it's always Jim. But Evelyn (wife) uses my family name. When we had our boat in the marina new dockmates would invariable get confused so everyone started calling me JimPete.

Jim

I wanted my kids to remember my birthday. My license plate says NOTOWAR but my husband says I better get rid of it before I move to TV as people will not like it. It is not political, it is hopeful. What do you think?

Cappyjon431: I worked for many years as the captain of a liveaboard dive boat taking guests diving throughout the Bahamas and Belize, so that explains Cappyjon. When I was young and foolish I was heavily involved in the technical diving community and 431 feet was the deepest I ever dived in pursuit of the world deep-air diving record (which was 437 feet, 1 inch). Cappyjon431 is a combination of two of my hobbies, boating and diving.
