Word meanings sometimes change over time. Like the word "handle"....


The meaning of that word hasn't changed. In amateur radio usage it is
still generally accepted to mean "name". In popular CB usage it is
used to denote a pseudonym or aptronym, but even that usage is
commonly found in amateur radio. For example, an MD might use the
aptronym "Doc", or my old friend W3UBM (sk) who used the aptronym
"Sparky" --- he was a radio officer in the merchant marine.

A rose by any other handle would smell as sweet.
