Some facts about my being named "Woozle":
- It derives from a scene in the children's book Winne-the-Pooh.
- See Wikipedia for an explanation of where it comes up in the story.
- It's the first name I remember being called, and it always felt like it refers to me.
- At Durham Academy, my 2nd grade teacher (Mrs. Land) wouldn't let me sign my work "Woozle" anymore, and made me sign by my full name.
- I went along with it at the time, because I was an obedient child – but in retrospect, I wish I had kicked up a fuss.
- I only adopted "Nick" because it was better than the full version of my first name – and I didn't think of doing that until several years later.
- I intend to make "Woozle" my legal first name.
