> Always made me think of raising babies ... Dr. Spoc? A very distinguished name, if you ask me. Don't mean to make a spocticle of myself here, but if all you did was lurk you could call yourself a spoctator. Or, if you really like spuds, a spoctater.<<<<<< Wow, you're showing me that this one may just be too much fun to give up! Well, I'll probably manage to, but I DO like the ring of those!
> How about X? ...for X marks the Spoc...
<<<<<< Ya know, I think "Y" would be applicable to me! But drat, those minimum length requirements! (Yeah, I suppose I could try variations on "Yme" and all...)
> ..."I'm spicy!"... OOh! How about that? Spicy!!
> Otherwise, sorry, can't help. I **like** spoc, but if the pseudo don't fit.....

> flb<<<<<<< "SpicySpoc?" Hmmmm, I might almost consider that! It offsets the too-serious, analytical dimension... Which ironically, I did end up realizing fits me too (although neither that nor any meaning went into selection of the name). But not predominantly; or at least in real life I am expressing such things with animation and zip, while not looking like a Vulcan or a bookworm either. And I like really simple irreverence too. So I think maybe too many more "colorful" dimensions get lost in a name like "Spoc..."
Thanks for all the great ideas, and the support on this most tumultuous of life issues! I do get a kick out of your name by the way! :- D
