As a Georgia section hiker, I gave myself a section hiking trail name of "caveman," however on my 2010 thru I plan to let my trail name come to me.

For those of you who have done the same, did you hit the trail with any expectation as to what name you might receive, and was your expected list of names accurate, completely inaccurate, or maybe somewhat close?

This is of course a trivial question, and of no importance at all. I was just curious, as I have a short list of names in my head and it wouldn't be a huge suprise if the trail community picked one of them.

An obvious few from that list that stand out for me are "lefty" and "southpaw" since i'm left handed... and since part of the reason for my thru hike is to escape the monotony of an office work atmosphere, some variation on "collar" would be a possibility, as i have said for a long time i will pin one of my old work shirt collars to my pack as a reminder on the hard days of where i COULD be instead of out hiking.

Anyone care to share?
