My user name is from the sociology theory of you are who you are because of the "place-in-space" that you occupy. The way you were raised, the people around you, everything. I have always thought about this since I was in the class (about a thousand years ago). lol
I like it mostly because it is simple, (kind of like me) *grins*
I think people pick names that mean something to them or what they want others to know about them.
The names people choose and why they chose them are probably more telling than we can imagine.
Using myself as an example...I wonder if I had been raised under different circumstances, would I have anxiety issues. I just wonder sometimes, so the theory stuck in my head.
I think the names are personal and as long as they are not damaging or insulting to anyone they are OK.

Good question. It never hurts to think...well sometimes a little headache. : )
