"Dolby" was a nickname given by friends for his love of audio technology. The Wikipedia page also gives a quick rundown as to what else he's been up to lately (i.e. check that ring tone on your cell phone.) But Tikibars is right about his legal use of the name Dolby (according to Yahoo's Music Page and many other web sites): "Dolby Labs...prohibited the musician from using the name "Dolby" in conjunction with any other name than "Thomas." So it appears that he is quite still within legal limits. Oh, and don't forget his credit on Def Leppard's "Pyromania!"
