My real name is Jonathan.
A friend of mine's mother used to call me Joe Nathan
I tried to get on AOL eight years as Joe Nathan but is was in use.
So I played with letters until I found

Joe Nation

Who I think of as the regular Joe, the average schmoe, the heart of the Nation. Of course that's not me, but I like to pretend.

Me? I'm just a humble scribe
Whom you can call SealPoet.

Screen name came first on AOL... Been using it for 'bout eight years now. Been writing poems about the Harbor Seal for 'bout nine.

Mine is drawn from where I live, personified by the addition of my initials. There's a bit more to it than that, but not much.

My real name is Joanne and my middle name is Dorel. Because Dorel is an unusual name in this country I usually get to use it.

I wanted a name to reflect my Irish background. I tried for Irish Mist but it was taken, because that was the name of our boat and besides I liked it, so I settled for Misti which was the name of our beloved dog, a lovable border collie my mom got when we all left home.

Jespah is the name of one of the cubs given birth to by Elsa, the tame lion in "Born Free". It's supposed to be Swahili for Japheth (the third son of Noah). There are a few other jespahs on the Internet, plus it's often used as a name for a lion or Rhodesian Ridgeback dog.

I also went with Jespah because my real name starts with a J but I always wanted to be called Jes (or Jess) but not Jessica. Been using it since Usenet days, 1997.

To anyone with a last name of SMITH one is commonly called Smitty so it is as simple as that.

Mine is the same as I have at abuzz. Jorge is my name in Spanish
(I am a bit of a hispanophile) however that was taken so I used two j's to create jjorge.

Carrying this name now for nearly 53 years, I thought it would fit on the internet as good as it does on my ID card, driving licence ...
