I join with others to say "Welcome, Graham Boak/Santa!"

Whichever name you choose to use here or elsewhere is fine with me, as long as it's fine with you.

I use my name on Mudcat and elsewhere. Actually "Azizi" isn't my birth name, but it's the name I've been known by since the late 1960s.

For a brief time, I used another name when I posted on another blog. A number of people there used tag names, but doing so didn't feel authentic for me, so I soon switched back to what I consider to be my real name. So by the time I came to Mudcat, I had gotten into the habit of posting on the Internet using my name.

Besides, its no secret that I want people to know my name because I have a website that I want people to know about http://www.cocojams.com/. I use my name there and if Mudcat members and guests visit there, they'd learn my name.

Also I want people to know my name since I'm interested in writing articles and at least one book on contemporary English language children's recreational rhymes.

Fwiw, I've not had any problems so far using my real name.

Knock on wood.

But as someone has already written on this thread, to each his or her own.
