What's in a name? - Page 2

As for my name, I was born and raised in Hawaii. In Hawaiian, hana pa'a means "to make secure or fasten." However, fishermen use it as a slang for "fish on."

I sure wish I was better at coming up with catchy user names but as you can see I'm not. I just use the name of my guide service, witch again you can see is just my last name. I actually tried for years to come up with a cool name for my business but all I could thing of sexual inuendoes, so I thought I'de better play it safe.

Mine is a name ive been using since jr. high for forums and games and things where I want a fake name. It actually comes from a funny song singing about combat chuck... and my real name is not chuck, its just a random name.
