That is much more than I imagined.
Notice that I was careful to not even try to guess. Good thing, too,
because my guesses were way off. To say the least.
It did not seem like a proper name, last name or title, and the idea
of a nickname did not really occur to me.
So it would basically be an alias or screen-name, were we not using a
real-name service.
