Here's what I know. I changed my name from "ElijahSnow" to "comicbooksgo" for a while because I started my own site to sell books on (that never went beyond the planning stages, but I digress). When I abandoned the site I went to change it back to "Elijahsnow" , but it was unavailable. I thought that maybe during the time I was "comicbooksgo" someone else had grabbed the "Elijahsnow" name for themselves. I then went with "RealElijahsnow" as kind of a jab at whoever I thought had stolen my name (It reminded me of the whole "Ghostbusters/REAL Ghostbusters thing from the cartoons, and it made me laugh) 

Someone I was talking to at some point around that time told me that the user names we have used are off the table unless you contact a mod about it. I actually kind of like the "real" part of my name, so I left it. I have no idea if that answers your question. I just woke up because I was going through books until 4:30 this am.

I know that if you want the real answer, you should contact Jeffro, Jerkfro, Jackwagonfro, JackandJillfro, etc., as he seems to move back and forth through the usernames all the time.
