I've been using buckaduck as my online name for seven years. When my niece first began talking and learned to say "Mama" and "Dada", I wanted my name to be the next one that she learned.

She didn't even come close. No matter what name I tried to teach her, everything came out as "buckaduck". In the end, I decided to let my nickname be buckaduck and be done with it.

Oddly, the name buckaduck seems very catchy with kids in general. The only downside is that people will try to turn it into something rude in the darker corners of the internet...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
