Fljoe0 is Flow Joe Zero...that perfect cup of coffee with no calories. Maybe it's Florida Joe? Hmmm, we need to investigate this, lol. Now that I think of it all of our 'handles' sound like a rag tag group of superheroes. Ha.
I think he actually does live in Florida.
Pat/Patrick IS my real name, or is it, hmmmm

Mine is pretty uncontroversially Owen.
There used to be no other Owens around which I liked but there seem to be more and more these days - I do not approve!

Paul is a nice name also. How did you get the nickname of Champ?
My surname is Chambers (probably one of the most used SK character names, Chris and Jake). I was called Chame for years, then someone at school called me Champ and it stuck. It feels weird if certain people call me Paul, and vice versa if family or work colleagues call me Champ. My ex boss has started calling me Champ, and it feels weird.
I said my name earlier in a spoiler. But I'm III (i.e., "the Third"). My mom didn't want me to be called by some diminutive of the first name that she didn't like, so she insisted on calling me by my middle name, Thomas, or Tom. That's how I answered to people, until I went to high school, and there I dutifully gave them my full name when they asked for it, and they started calling me by my actual first name, which was a lot more unusual back then, and I liked that name and hung on to it. And yes, our firstborn was a IV. He likes it. He's never been called "Tom."
So I hear "Tom!" on the street now, and it's for someone else. Unless it has a voice attached to one of my family. Then I'll turn, every time.
My own grandpa had a nickname for me. He nicknamed everybody. Mine was "Chub." I liked it. I was a stout little guy, so it fit, and I adored my grandpa enough that if he'd nicknamed me "$h|+he@d," I would've claimed it.
Later in life, I had two nicknames that i really did like.
I was going to school, with not enough money to eat much - all the meager food went for our babies - freshly out of the Marines, working out with weights at home, and working in a building supply department, heaving around timbers and bags of cement. I was in the most buff shape of my life. Some other employees got to calling me "Baby Hulk." Yes, I'm proud of that. No, I'm nothing like that anymore.
I played soccer in adult leagues for about 30 years. My soccer skills were crap, but my defense was fearsome, so I played fullback. I got called "Jasonator." That was fine too.
