Kind of complicated. I didn't want to use my real name, but I didn't want a nonsense name either. My last name is hard to understand for Americans, especially on the phone, and when I was a kid I got tired of having to spell it all the time. So, for ordering pizzas and stuff I started using the name of my favorite baseball player of the day, Bob Gibson. That was 36 years ago, so I guess it stuck.

I do use an abbreviated version of my middle name at some other forums, but reserve "Bob G" for here.
