About the name

The name Croc O' Lyle comes from people at a previous job calling me "crocodile", as in the famous childrens' book "Lyle, Lyle Crocodile". The nickname went from "crocodile" to "croc" and then someone morphed it into Crocolyle.

It's also a play on the phrase "Crock O' Gold" -- showing the Irish in my Heinz 57 hybrid genetics.

...and some people will probably say this whole thing is simply a crock.
