I agree with the others, you probably had the variety "Lemon'. It's actually quite a nice cucumber...you should have tried them.
Straight Eight's are a variety I grow often, along with several of the 'Marketmore' varieties out there and they are fantastic cukes. Grow them like you grew the others and provide them with a trellis to grow upwards onto (not totally necessary, but is a huge space saver and it allows the cukes to hang straight down as they grow so they don't end up curling.)
and welcome to ATP Cathy!
