Five: Sorry I’m late, I was doing things.

Thanks for asking! My personal feelings about my name are similar to my feelings about my pronouns, which is that I know who I am and if other people want to refer to me that's more of a them problem than a me problem. So I will not be offended by whatever nickname you decide to use for me!

This might be an artifact of a lifetime of computer science - I'm used to thinking of names as "the term that's most convenient to use to refer to this thing in this context", and indeed in software it's common for any particular value to have many different names AND for one name to refer to many different value over the course of the program's run.

That said, the point of communication is to be convenient (or funny), so I can suggest some terms that seem least likely to cause confusion and/or most likely to be fun to say:

N - this is probably the most common way people refer to me on Tumblr, and perhaps the least likely to confuse people?

Large N - less convenient to write, but more precise. Useful if readers might otherwise think you're talking about @largelysufficientn, or some other N.

Dan - what people call me in the "real" world, inasmuch as it makes sense to consider the online world as not "real".

I suppose the other parts of my handle could also be shortened or combined, e.g.

Suffy - like Snuffy, the kindly snuffleupagus, but sufficiently different for copyright purposes.

Slargen - rhymes with 'bargain'

Slargen - rhymes with 'barge in'

Suffic, or perhaps 'Suffish'?

SuffLarN - I guess?
