23 years ago I was in an e-group forum for the Havanese breed of dogs. Every so often we would have a chat and most members were using "Hava" then their dog's name for their chat handle. We recognized members by their dog's names instead of their screen name! I had my first Havanese and his AKC name was Circo Dr Pepper. So I chose a chat name of HavaDrPepper.
Then when gmail came along I used that for my email name and ever since I have used HavaDrPepper as a forum name for most forums I am on.
Side note: The Dr Pepper name came about because I was getting a black Havanese puppy. As I was driving to pick him up, I picked up my pop to take a drink and realized that "pepper" is black... I was drinking a Dr Pepper! And, no I did not name his little sister I got 2 years later that was a cream color "Salt". She was Paige after scrapbooking!
