Well let me clear mine up. It’s my first name and middle and last initials. My clown name, that is.
Just think of the old joke: Whats Smokey the Bear’s middle name?
Likewise for mine:
Buttons T. C.
Buttons T.(he) C.(lown)
I had to add the two initials since “Buttons” as a screen name was already taken on many of the sites for which I tried to register and that was over 10 yrs. ago. Can you imagine what it’s like now?
And forget about YouTube and Ebay. I had to use a variant since Buttonstc was already taken there.
Trying to come up with a unique screen name really is not that easy nowadays and using a different name at each site is just way too confusing.
I’m sure I’m not the only one to have faced this dilemma when first encountering the Internet, am I ?
