    My name happens to be a character in a very sub-par novel that I had read years ago.

    Mine is relatively self-explanatory: I'm a habitual wearer of odd socks.

    (I say habitual...it's mainly laziness! Pairing socks together? Think, by never pairing my socks I'm probably adding a cumulative extra full day of free time to my life!)

    Just chose a word at random. I like Maths so it fits well.

    It's the name of a Japanese water god. I thought it was pretty cool at the time.

    My parents came up with it when I was born.

    Also, if I used my regular screen name it would probably be too easy to find me on social media.

    They would let me use carebear, so I had to put the boo between it.

    Mine is my Native American name, which means Little Fox In Blackfeet. It was the name my Grandfather bestowed upon me in a naming ceremony. It's also my legal name now after my name change years ago. So I use it everywhere to carry on his memory and keep our traditions alive.

    Let me share a trick. I bought five packages of all the same short white socks. They all match....thus no odd socks and no time wasted.

    How I came up with my screen name is simply that I do many things for irony and many things in my life are a tad bit ironic. So I wanted something with skill and that's what I came up with.
