From the HBO Website

Mr. Big. The name says it all. From the moment he came onto the scene, he was larger than life, dashingly handsome, and oh-so unattainable ....

Re: Spinoff to SATC - Mr. Big

no .. there is no "concrete answer" that I can find ... just that as the closest thing to an a real answer from HBO. I have the 1st season at home, maybe I'll watch them and see if I can find out when she first calls him that, to who and the reason why she does.

Re: Spinoff to SATC - Mr. Big

I thought the "Big" was b/c he was a bigshot - I think in real life he is based on a real estate developer who was quite wealthy and had a rep as a ladies' man. (NOT Trump)

ETA: Here's an article from New Yrok mag, the guy is a publisher, not a real estate developer:

Re: Spinoff to SATC - Mr. Big

when she first saw him she did describe him as mr. big because of what was said. handsome, successful, etc. (and samantha tried to get with him! hehehe)

Re: Spinoff to SATC - Mr. Big

Here's what the article said ...

... Galotti met another feisty beauty, writer Candace Bushnell, at a Wolfgang Joop party in ’95. “He was one of those New York guys with a big personality—you just notice him as soon as he walks in the room,” Bushnell says. “I called him Mr. Big because he was like a big man on campus.” They dated for a little over a year, and Bushnell chronicled the relationship in her “Sex and the City” column in the New York Observer, which would eventually give birth to the book and the HBO series. But while Bushnell based the elusive, high-rolling heartthrob on Galotti, she is the first to distinguish man from myth. “Ron is much more of a well-rounded person than you’d think,” she says. “He cooks, he gardens. In some ways, he’d prefer to be at home to going out on the town.”
