What's with the abbreviated names you ask? That, it seems, is the preferred method of protecting identities, which has quickly caught fire amongst LJ, A, and M on their respective blogs. How does it work? My name is Mike, so I get dubbed rather cleverly, M. Unfortunately, I think this blog and my profile have blown my cover.
The nicknames are pretty cool when you think about it. After all, M is also the code name for 007's boss in the Ian Flemming James Bond classics. I just wish my first name started with a Q. I am a huge fan of Bond, and being an engineer, the man behind all of Bond's cool gadgets, Q, is one of my favorite characters.
Oh, well. Fortunately, for the other M in this group, there have been three separate actors portraying M in the 007 movies, so we have a few options to choose from. I'm actually a huge fan of the most recent one, Dame Judy Dench.



Don't forget the other (significantly less cool) source for one letter names: Men In Black
