What's in a name?

Actually, It's a nickname given to me by a coworker in 1990. I had left the military and gotten a job in manufacturing during a period of massive hiring. So I was in a crowd of people my age, none of whom knew anybody in town. We were working a lot, 12 hour days, six or seven days a week if you could stand it. After a couple of weeks, Jeff said to noone in particular that he was going to get a beer after work, you coming? Before you knew it about fifteen newhires are out and carousing. We end up drinking and playing cards at Jeff's place, noone got out of there soon. The next day we were all laughing, and Jeff said,"And you! you're a hideous drunk!" It stuck to this day, mostly because I'm really a sort of gentle giant type.
Anyway, when I registered for my very first free email account "hideous" was taken. So I added the "e".
