Where does your user name come from?

James Baird Weaver, of Iowa, was the Presidential candidate of the People's Party in 1892. His political manifesto for the campaign, A Call to Action, outlines the goals of the party and critiques U.S. politics and society of the time. I use it in class as part of the discussion of Populism. --Scott

m - My first initial
v - My wife's first initial
wine - what my four-year-old does best (no, that's whine).

Mine comes from the pseudonym used by the fictional detective Lemmy Caution (beloved by the French) in the great Jean-Luc Godard movie, "Alphaville."

In the interest of enhancing the mystery, a prize will be awarded to the best guess posted here (no fair telling, Craig). And if I really like it, I will adopt it as part of my persona, public and private.

Swampwalker, let me guess... with a name like that, you must be a wetlands/soil scientist (self-employed), making your living digging holes and tying little flags on trees. Did I guess right?!

As for mine, someone had already taken my name and given that I have a minimum of 8-10 different logins I use at work each day, I chose something completely different for Agon, a nickname given to me by a friend in high school. It is based on my first name Travis and the fact that he was an Elvis Costello fan.
