Papa Irish Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I wanted just "Irish" but it was taken. So I chose "Papa Irish" all my grand kids call me papa. BTW there are a lot of good and clever alias out there, but I like Fillmore Coffins a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Jeemes Kelly Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 My wife is a cross-dominant shooter (right hand/left eye) and after her first match, when she forgot which eye to use and shot up the bushes around the rifle targets, people suggested she change from Cherokee Arnett to Cherokee Wrong-eye. I couldn't come up with an alias, so I started looking at names of my ancestors. On my fathers side, we have book about family history with names like deadeye, Birdeye, Ram Jerry, Long Jerry, etc. the Best one was Danger Nick Combs, also known as Nick the Tory. Then I thought of Bad Jeemes Kelly, my great, great, grandfather (maybe one more great) on my mother's side, from Pike County Kentucky. My grandmother used to tell us stories about his Gunfights/killings and he was about a the closest thing to a gunfighting outlaw in the family (he may have killed a sheriff who was an ancestor on my father's side) and I have a book with a couple of stories about him, so I settled on that. Nick the Tory just wasn't "period correct". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haole Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 There's a local rancher by the name of William Hauwawaikaleoonamanuonakanahele Johnson Paris, Jr. simply called Billy Paris or Uncle Billy Paris who was born in 1922. His father, Billy Paris, Sr. lived during the cowboy era. In their honor I was going to call myself "The Hauwawaikaleoonamanuonakanahele Kid." In Hawaiian, Hauwawaikaleoonamanuonakanahele means "the noise of the birds as they sing in the forest." I might adjust the Hawaiian name a bit to mean "the noise of my Colts as they sing in the forest." Haole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 For me, it was between "Rolan Kraps" and "Bat Guano" I wanted Bat Lash, a comic book character, so I paid my $$ to SASS to change it from Kid Tucson to Bat Lash. When all my "so called pards" start calling me Bat Guano!!! I quickly changed it to Rye Miles, a real Arizona Ranger. Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 My current alias came from the fact that my wife's family is from the Gateway CO area and of the daughters in her family I am the youngest husband. I was the "Kid" long before SASS Seems to have grown on me so not gonna give it up, more people know me by "Gateway" than my real name Other alias's I had in mind were "Uruvan Ray" (site of a local uranium mine) Paradox Phil (location of numerous UFO sightings) Tough Tommy Two Rivers (Grand Junction is where the Colorado and Gunnison river meet) possibly shortened to T3R Old Man - What my pard Dominguez Red calls me anyway and probably already taken There were a couple others but I am most comfortable with Gateway Kid Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacramento Johnson #6873 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Howdy! Briefly contemplated "Sierra Nevada Maria" with the last name pronounced as in the song "They Call the Wind Maria" from the musical "Paint your Wagon". (I lived in Northern California for awhile.) Eventually figured: 1. Nobody would pronounce it right, and 2. it would limit the characters I could portray (the alias I eventually settled on was more gender neutral; very handy online, I might add.)

Whiskey Burns Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 At the moment I'm the absolute newest member of SASS (I just signed up) so I have my still crisp list of names that could have been if "Whiskey" Burns had been taken. Jack Sorbetter (because I like poker) Marshall Willy Ketchum Wes Texas Deputy Dew Wright I considered using my Great, Great, Great Grandfather's name (Texas Ranger who fought at the Battle of San Jacinto and was killed by Comanches) but there is a cartoon character these days that shares his name and it would send the wrong message.
