"Lemur" has been my nom de guerre for a long, long time. When I worked in an office, the people who I managed even bought me a stuffed lemur toy for my desk. (It quickly made its way into my little lemur's crib.)

I also maintain a secondary identity as "Jethro Q. Lungfish," another animal-themed name which is just silly enough to make people think twice but not quite so absurd that they challenge me. I have signed many, many forms that I didn't want to fill out under Mr. Lungfish's name. I've even published under it.

But if you asked anyone in my family where the lemur was, they'd know who you meant.
