Hey Jakki, why use the adjective rather than the obvious name?
I understand why people call me carbon (qualifier) rather than Halo (original nick) as it's not obvious, leading me to have to explain that the name I respond to is the latter.
I've had similar confusion over people calling me Utterly, which is a very strange way to be addressed--not that either word is much of a name, but I think Absurd makes a lot more sense. The problem is that we're taking two random words and trying to interpret them as a first and last name, which doesn't always work very well.
For the record, I also respond to UA, Calvin, and you idiot.

My parents were birdwatchers....thats why...and my parents are long past......almost a term of endearment.
