My name is Roger and I used to race "Enduro Go Karts" (Yea the ones that you lay down on and drive 80-100 MPH on.) I raced for about 6 years and was very slow at first but as I got better and started winning races people started my nick name of "Rapid Roger" and it just stuck. Most people just call me "Rog" these days.
Now that I'm into wood working for a hobby, several people have mentioned how fast I get my projects done. Not that they are all that good but, I am fairly quick. :)

The Navy could not pronounce the last name as it is spelled, they always use the last name to call you, so they shortened it to "jeff".  Most of my friends use that name but my sister calls me my given name, Bill. The "44" is for the year I was born.

Pretty self explanatory.  I used to do a lot of scuba and spearfishing and used this name on those forums.  Never saw a need to change it even though I haven't been down in a few years.  I will likely go again!

Proxxon ist the brand from my scroll saw. ==> Prox
Why I came with prof I don't remember (short for Professor/ Professional?)
But I liked the combination from these two, so Proxprof was born.
I used this name the first time on a german site to order Patterns for X-masdecoration and I don't want to have to remember too much nicknames.

I was wondering if anyone caught that.

So, 3B, when you were trying to decide on a name, do you ask, "3-B, or not 3-B? That is the question."

And now y'all know why I don't post much, my humor leaves too much to be desired.

Just Bill.
