By the definition given in the Cambridge Dictionary, to spell out means 'to explain something in a very clear way with details".
Therefore, my request to you is to explain the meaning of that question.
Thanks.

You want us to spell out the meaning of the question, not spell out the question.

If you go by name, that is a name (not your real name) that you use in certain circumstances. Most forum members, for example, have a username - this is the name they go by when they use the forum. Fivejedjon is not my real name; it is the name I go by at EF. I go by different names on other forums. Your question might have been addressed to me, asking me to talk about the three names I ha
