¿What's in a Name?
I'll be the first to admit I need to get a life, but I was wondering about the Nomad handles that we use to identify ourselves. Many of them are very
clever, and I thought it would be interesting to learn how and/or why you chose it. If the meaning of your handle isn't obvious, maybe you could
unlock the mystery.

Okay, I'll play...
My real name is Michael Scott Buckau. My last name is german in origin. But it's pronounced Bucko. Like the french -eau or eaux name ending. Think
nouveau or bordeaux. Don't ask me how that happened.
Anyway my dad was about half Potowatomie indian on his moms side and the other half french canadian. My grandad was full german.
So my screen name is a little wordplay and a pseudo indian name made up of part of my last name and my strong disire to catch fish.
Fishing is right near the top of my list of favorite things to do.
Also an indian "buck" is synonymous to an indian brave or warrior.
So it's kind of like "Running Bear" or "Sitting Bull" or "Fishing Buck" or ... Fishbuck!

I think Gypsies are known to travel great distances to find what they want. So ya, your like a "world class" Gypsy.

Ally, your name is perfect for you and the rest of your jangling gypsy clan, Mr. Gypsy and GypsyKidz and GypsyDogz and all.

Well, your screen name might not be clever but you're plenty clever!

middle name, last initial
Now for today's little chuckle I will share with you a poem by the late great
Rosanne Rosanna-Danna
jeans jeans - the magical pants
the tighter they are - the bigger the chance
that someone for sure - will be there to watch
too see how you scratch - that itch in your crotch
 
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

My last name is a german mess. Hard to pronounce. It looks like woooosh - so why not just make it sound like woooosh and stop torturing everyone.
No one likes to stumble over names so it was an easy solution that put people more at ease. It's fun for a lot of reasons.

OK. I'll play show and tell:
toneart=
My name is Tony.
I am a multidisciplinary artist.
Included in my work are visual arts, music and writing.
Tone is a play on my name, and also pertains to an element of music, the mood of a story or the effect in choice of colors, or maybe a monotone.
Art wraps it all together.
