I think so. Not as common in informal practice. Moreso like on programs at NPHC events in my area.

future Q-dog,
If you don't foresee a problem, then why ask? If you have to ask if there will be a problem, then wouldn't you be better off with another name that would really present virtually no problem whatsoever? Just a suggestion. You asked.

I don't understand why, but people perceive this negatively.
You're presumably old enough to choose a screen name. You're old enough to accept the consequences.
If to you, it says "this is what I've wanted all my life" - keep it. If you get to school and find out it works against you, well, that's the chance you take.
Don't let others make up your mind for you. But be mighty sure you accept the possible consequences of what you do decide.

AKA_Monet, ladygreek, and Senusret I, thanks for the clarifications. Seems I was wrong about some of the specific terminology (which is why I asked), but I hope I got the general concepts right. Being an interest does not make you a "future ABC" - it could be years before your application is accepted, if it ever is.
