For those of you with superhero/code names, how were they decided?

[By that formula, he'd be Doctor G. But there's already so many doctors, including The Doctor]

No other nicknames you prefer then?

Most of my students call me Professor now, so it works out well.

[mathemagier]

Fair enough then.

[excessivehubris]

And given that my name is Professor Charles Xavier and my nickname is Professor X ... not as if it's a very secretive code name.

[mathemagier]

Some are more comfortable with it than others, it seems. I wouldn't bother at all, but someone important to me is very concerned, and so I've agreed.

[excessivehubris]

Then I hope you and your someone come across a name that benefits you both.

I'm sure we'll manage it, thank you.
