Welcome aboard ABC - greetings from sunny Perth, Western Australia. To answer your question.........

Your surname is Staley. You are known to everybody as stales. You have no choice.

BTW everybody, the anagram generator at the "front" of this site is a lot of fun for generating handles - no doubt you've all tried it? (http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/index.html for those that didn't know.) I become LARGE_OYSTER or GORSE_REALTY, among others!!
