One of my roomates in college was nick-named "Danimal".

I'm assuming it is for similar reasons!

Let's see could it be Mr. Papageorgio???

Well I don't really remember where it started but it seemed to stick as a NickName since the last name was St. John. The 23 was added just for an old email address. Wow that was an exciting tale.

You run a Italian Restaurant called "Georgio's", you are the owner and friends with Tony Sapranno?

So when I showed up as a young wet-behind-the-ears engineer with a difficult to pronounce last name, my instant radio nickname was JohnnyB (John Boettcher is my real name). I have been involved with several other engineer and construct projects since then in South Carolina, Quebec, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, Arkansas...others I'm forgetting....and the name stuck with me wherever I went. I am now in management in our Wisconsin operations and still cross paths with many old friends from my traveling days....and am still refferred to quite often as JohnnyB
