What's in a name?

[pawpoet]

I use my middle initial when I attempt publication of my poems
because Paul White is a fairly common name. And I kind of liked
the ring of pawpoet, and its imagery besides. Popped into my head
as a shortening of my e-mail address.

[lotus]

When I was I kid (11 or 12), I was a very fast runner, so my school friends begun to call me "Lotus" after the British sportscar (and Formula 1 racer in that time), which fitted well to my real name "Lothar". I kept this nick during all my youth. As this was also time I discovered prog (which later I forgot until rediscovering it on the Moon) I think this nick would suite well.

[Rick and Roll]

I'm finding out some very neat things...nice thread.

Nothing special about mine...just rock instead of rick....

but it does keep with my philosophy of keeping it simple. I don't care for showy, attention grabbing behavior, same with the music - rock and roll.
