Mine is obvious.It's my real name.
I have very curly hair and sometimes I get this one lock on the top of my head that wants to stick straight up in the air (thank heavens for gel). Anyway, several years ago my boyfriend was looking at me with an amused expression and was making a peculiar whistle. When I asked what that was all about, he told me that my stick-up curl reminded him of the feather that a quail has on top of its head. He was whistling the alarm call that quail make to each other when they sense danger. I must have been impressed. The name stuck, the boyfriend didn't. Also, I am a native Californian and the quail is our state bird.

When I was younger, I worked in an office filled with very high-strung, temperamental individuals. They used to swear, slam doors, throw things, etc. They called me LauraLou because they said I was the sweetest person who had ever worked there. That wasn't saying much considering who my coworkers were, but it did make me feel good, so I still use the nickname.
