Mine was a radio alias before I ever used the net. I hosted a radio show in college, and used the name Aleck. Why? The show delved frequently into topics like the occult and conspiriacy theory, and I chose Aleck as a reference to Lee Harvey Oswald’s alleged alias (Alec Hidell) and used the “ck” spelling as a reference to Aleister Crowley’s unique spelling of the word “magick.” The “smart aleck” thing didn’t hit me until the second time I did the show, and it was pointed out to me. People at college knew me through the radio station, and the name stuck.
