Others are correct - Not Quite There Yet (NQTY) and Karabo is what DH calls me (when I let him get away with it!).
Nutty Kangaroo and Naughty Kariboo is what others have "interpreted" my name to be from speed reading the boards.

Patstab's name on the old board was Patriotic Stablest, or something like that. Whiskmav is Whiskey Maverick, I believe. You're not curious about the origins of Swamp? I am!! Swamp was my nickname in college.

OK, thanks, naughty. Also, the Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball explanation for "Deziloooo" is a positive ID as far as I'm concerned. I'll add it to the OP.
This is an excellent bit of crowdsourcing.

So why "Swamp" as a college nickname?

I always figured that "mav" was short for maven, which would make sense.

Hey, if there's anyone whose name can't be literally interpreted, I'd be just as curious.
Cheesy, I know you were formerly "Cheesehead in Florida", and I understand that "Cheesehead" is an affectionate term for somebody from Wisconsin.

You're a chemical engineer with a doctorate, aren't you?
"Pig" I figure for two reasons: i) the term is mildly self-deprecating, and ii) many people consider pigs to be among the world's greatest pets. They're intelligent, apparently quite clean, cute, and loveable.

Dr Pig came about because everyone was calling him a pig one day at the old EE. The doctorate is honorary.

"You're a chemical engineer with a doctorate, aren't you?"
No, I began college with that as my major but changed it after my first year.
""Pig" I figure for two reasons: i) the term is mildly self-deprecating, and ii) many people consider pigs to be among the world's greatest pets. They're intelligent, apparently quite clean, cute, and loveable. "
There is no real story behind the name I just kind of picked it out of the air. I have used other names which I usually pick to elicit a visceral reaction from people like Intesine and Festering Boyle which came from a susan boyle thread.
