We all come across Dopers’ names that we wonder about. This is the place to inquire, to learn, to share.
I’ll start us of with one I had not noticed until just now:
F.Pu-du-he-pa-as
Come on, F.Pu - what’s your story?
mmm

I’ve been meaning to ask you about yours, Mean Mr Mustard. There was a campus bar on High Street at The Ohio State University called Mean Mr. Mustard’s back in the early 90’s. Any connection?
Maybe he likes the Beatles song.
Show’s how much I know about the Beatles, eh?
Or apostrophe usage.
I think that was more of a failure on how to use my fat fingers.

I cant keep track of the nasty ones or the nice ones, I find most here nasty.
Its so nice for that mix
:dubious:
Well, for anyone curious about mine: “Eke” is my name in Hawaiian, according to a key chain my parents brought me from there on their second honeymoon. “Dolphin” because dolphins were my favorite animal. (Foxes are now.)
I love the Beatles, I like the sound of Mean Mr. Mustard, and I like the way ‘mmm’ looks as a sign-off to my posts. Win-win-win.
I don’t find most posters nasty, not at all. I do have a hard time, however, keeping tabs on who is who. If you ask me who I had a snarkfest with three days ago, it is very likely that I couldn’t tell you. Probably not a bad thing.
mmm
Anyone with Eddie or Edward in their name…
I always assume it is an Iron Maiden reference (I know Eddie the Head is, but not sure on Eddie the Horrible)
Just channeling my inner FDR.
I’ve always been a bit afraid of Fear Itself.
Just a nickname my first wife gave me around 1991.
Now you got me wondering if I need to sign off in my own cryptic way (totally understood by jazz cats).

I spent the first year wondering about Mangetout and what man they wanted to get out. Then my high school French finally kicked in. :smack:
I kept getting him confused with mangeorge (who apparently hasn’t logged on in 2 years now). Mangy ogre?
:D:D:D
He’s previously said his actual inspiration was the peas.
I know the correct meaning, but I still can’t read it as anything other than someone who keeps talking about the advantages of his skin disease.
