It occurred to me that my name is probably confusing. In my very first blog entry, I managed to put 'Tim' in the title, while the author name reads 'Caleb'. My full name is Timothy Caleb Nordloh. My mom called me Caleb, and most of my family and friends call me Caleb. Since I don't want to appear to be a picky person in the workplace, I don't mention my second name, so they call me Tim. I'm not the type of person who associates the name to the heroic, but bloody biblical history of Caleb, or the pious biblical history of Timothy, so the connotations of either are lost on me, other than as anecdotes and and incomplete references, as seen at the beginning of this sentence. I do find it ironic that in both cases, they were essentially sidekicks, like me.
Anyway, it's pretty strange to be known by an alias, like some sort of criminal, but in my case it's just a non-aggressive personality trait, where I don't insist on one or the other with either my family or work. I truly don't have a preference at this point except that, if my mom was alive, I would hope that she always calls me Caleb, like she did when I was a child.
