So when you signed-up for Debate Politics, how did you decide on what to call yourself? I see a lot of names--some quite unusual--and I can't help but wonder how some of you came up with your name.

I'm a fan of John Wayne and he was called the Duke. So after a bit of research regarding titles I discovered that barons were kinda like the rednecks of royalty and so it seemed a nice fit.

So where did you come up with your name?
 
On a few occasions (just a few thankfully) I got into an argument with someone who decided to call me a Snowflake, and so I asked them, well yes - THAT IS my username - but do you have any idea WHY I chose that username?

Not one of them gave me an answer other than to say something like: because you are proud of being a snowflake, or because you are one, or because you think it's cute.

So I will leave it up here for people to figure out WHY I picked the username of Snowflake.

I suppose that trailer trash may be one of the lowest forms of rednecks, but likely a tad below any form of royalty despite allegations of white privilege.

I daresay I've read EVERYTHING from Heinlein over the last 60 years or so. (except some of his non-fiction stuff)

"Mike, look at this guy's ID...you look like some kinda serial killer, what do they call you, Checkerboard Strangler?"
The crew heard it and it stuck.

I didn't mind, makes me think of a blues band.

Head wound in the Service. It was a play on head wounds give you a bit more leeway- 'He has a head wound so he ain't quite right Sir ....' ✌️
 
About 15 years ago I was walking along the beach thinking about anagrams and it struck me I could anagram my own name into something more exciting.

Not read much Heinlein, 'Time for the stars' was a favourite.
 
My name is more creative than one might think.
