So, after consultation with Don and some others, you started deleting parts of the name. Eventually you got to something that would fit into the box but it didn't make much sense. So you switched around some letters and then dropped those that seemed excess. Once you were done you were left with the letters Lynn.

...or it could just be the name of someone you know very well... :-)

Ah, fritz, those are attributes of the suspension itself (at a given position). The others are (often) dynamic as the suspension goes through its range of motion. However, slip angle is the only one that requires movement!

None of the others are as fun(terrifying?) on their lonesome as slip angle is.

Okay, I'll bite. I did my master's degree and started my PhD in English Literature, and specifically on the poetry and prose of John Milton (of Paradise Lost fame) - hence, around the department, I was the "Milton Man" when they knew what I did but not my real name.

I have since moved on and never finished the PhD...but kept the moniker.

Hell yeah Colorado

I used to be a big hockey fan, so I got Tampa Bay and Philadelphia hockey sweaters to complement my Avalanche sweaters, and I happened to wear my Philadelphia sweater into a local bar on 2 consecutive occasions, leading the bartender to dub me "Philly"

It just stuck.

Plus, it beats the hell out of ElvenMercenary.

Zib was a nickname given to me in High School by a now deceased friend. May he rest in peace. The name stuck to this day, even though I don't live where I grew up, Thanks US Military, My friends and surviving brother still call me Zib when I return home. Before I got Contact lenses, I wore tinted glasses in the 70's. they were horrible. They were supposed to be brown, but looked like "Rose Colored Glasses" needless to say, I had the **** teased out of me, especially in Gym class. It was in good fun, not malicious in anyway. My friend "Spats" or Billy Spataro called me "Zendonian Institute for the blind" or "Blind Baby" from the Cheech and Chong album. Don't ask me where the hell he came up with that one...But, the first letters are Z.I.B. and it stuck. There are variations, Zibbie, Zendonian, Zendar.....Everyone of my friends had nicknames, no one used their real name....I was surprised to find out how many people use that name when I register online.
Also, another tidbid of info. Our own Jimmyhad worked with Capt Jack and Ernie White. Jimmy can elaborate They were tattoo artist's in New Jersey who did work on me and my friends...

I spelled it Del1r1um because I have used that handle on other sites for a long time and it was available then with the numbers but not the letters.
