nukerecruiter,  do you know how to change a name?  I'm thinking of "McLovin-formerly number41" but that might be too long.  Anyway..... :D  And HydroDave63,  I haven't seen Ben Hur in a while, even though it's quite a few years before my time!  What part is that in?  I might have to agree with Heston, too!  Hate is driving me to do a lot of (good) things these days.

Mine is not very original and it came from my dad.  I have a pet peeve about hiding behind a fake name.  When I say something about someone (good or bad)  I want them to know it was me.  Also, it was a slow day   :-[ for me that year.

I had to look it up so for those of you like me:

Ono·mato·poeia (än′ō mat′ō pē′ə, -mät′-)
noun
formation of a word by imitating the natural sound associated with the object or action involved; echoism (Ex.: tinkle, buzz, chickadee, etc.)
the use of words whose sounds reinforce their meaning or tone, as in poetry
Etymology: LL < Gr onomatopoiia < onoma (gen. onomatos), name + poiein, to make: see poet

in marlin's (and all like him) defense, the only reason i knew that word is because it was pretty much THE WORD in junior year of high school...

spentfuel

Hmm complex question

mine has several answers beginning with the second plant I worked at and the two House mouses walked up on an unshielded transfer tube as a "Spent Fuel" assembly passed by  :o :o :o

over time I have also had the pleasure of dealing with various pieces of "Spent Fuel" debris

and lastly, if a "Spent Fuel" assembly has feeling they would have to be exactly like mine after 30 years in the biz........dang near burnt out !!!!!! ;D

May be time for a change like what the cute recruter lady does  ;)

Nickname from a small circle of friends at SONGS circa 1997.  I am not a cartoon super hero fan but the name has always brought back some fond memories so I went with it. 8)

Your friends at San Onofre nicknamed you "Brett LaVigne"...?  ;)
