What does your bladeforums username mean?

[David Mary]

Mine is simple. It is my name at common law. But my username used to be "slicecream", which was really just a contrived effort to come up with something "clever" and "knifey". I changed it to David Mary shortly after I made the push to become a knife maker for my living, per the recommendations made on the forum to go by your real name if you want to be a Knifemaker / Craftsman / Service Provider. Curious about some of your usernames, if you'd care to share the meaning or rationale. Thanks!
