Overused trail names

[Kraken Skullz]

Sounds gross.

But I chose my trail name because I thought it summed up my basic identity quite well.

If someone will pay for a new visor

with a snail on it, I'll consider changing my trail name to Snail's Pace.

When I first saw Golden Bear I thought Jack Nicholas The Golfer took up hiking in his retirement. MMMMM Guess not.

Last year there were three Tumbleweed's. Myself, a girl from MD and a transvestite from Canada.I got mine from my grandfather in 1952, the girl got her's from rolling down a hill while taking a pee and lord only knows where the Canadian got their's from.

You try it and report back, lol. To the best of my reconnaissance I've determined that it's chicken and dumplings made with liver instead of chicken....

I once was given & brought some " Spotted Dick" on the trail & shared with all for dessert. Thank goodness that did not become my name. Many years ago, on a cold dark morn, I was tagged the Stealth Pooper. No real mystery there. While funny at the time, that's not really my choice for a trail name. You can't pick your parents, but whenever possible try to pick your trail name.

could be worse, could get named for a well known caribbean reef fish whose common name is Slippery Dick

is it just me who does not understand the need for a trail name ?

For a lot of people hiking is a chance to step away from normal life at home... Using a trail name allows those people to forget about "Dave who is stressed out from his job", and become "Easy Going" who can forget about all that stuff for a little while and embrace everything the trail has to offer

I think I ate 3 helpings of that at an AYCE buffet in VA.

Most people don't get to choose their birth name.

I think it more correct to say that no one chooses their birth name.

And changing your name later in life is not choosing a birth name.

Not quite sure what Liver Nip is. I have only lived in Chapin since 2007.

I know a 91 thru hiker that lives in Chapin SC. The CarolinaCooker.

Is there anyone who is " nameless " ?
That would be interesting.

[SnailRacer]

Anything with bear, goat, or man in it.

I guess I should rethink BearGoatMan??

Man with No Name

I guess I should rethink BearGoatMan??

Yes, but GoatManBear would be okay.

[Chris10]

Hike your own hike, but not go with the name you want?

ManBearPig is taken, by the guy that invented the trail.

Some animal names that I haven't heard yet:
Slug
Deer Tick
Protozo(a) - fits in with NOBO, SOBO, HOBO, SOLO, etc
Leech

Maybe if they were cuter...?
