I was thinking that if any of us met, it would be very difficult to refer to each other by real name.

Any comments?

SO TRUE! I m in the Air cadets (I am currently taking piloting leassons) and we have to call each other by our rank, then last names. When me and my friends meet on the weekend, it is hard not to call them "Baldwin" or "Norquais" or "Jones". We are to much used to it.

in the group i run with we don't use real names... my real name is chad but my friends call me chester (i have no idea why) i know 4 different brians... one has the last name brownlow we call him b-low, my brother is also brian we call him jaker... i have a friend you never see without his girlfriend he is bob and she is tray we call them trob... a tray bob combo. another friend named kevin we call fish.... well the list goes on and on... but you get the point.

Probably... Depends on how much you know the person and wether you talk outside the forums or private message them a lot. It depends. But I gues it would be. People tend to be use to calling me by my screen name even if they know my real name. Which is Nicole by the way.(or Nico to some)

Nicole that's a good name.


I think it be hard to always say BigBadBike2. it would need to be shortened BBB2 or triple B2 or something like that.

out of experience I can say ... forum name... I kept thinking "use the real name! use the REAL name!", think I used the real name once or so

i will tell you later

*waits*

Because i am sure many would share the same first name etc it makes the most sense to use the forum/nicknames, also if someone wanted to be called by their real name they would sign up using that name instead of a nickname right?!

well I am finti to all of you here and real life as well

I don't like people using my real name, that works too?

Why do you not want people to address you by your real name.

because this is an online board and isn't RL related... much

Well, Lily is a common name, so I'm sure anyone IRL could make the mistake of calling me that! But I'd try my hardest to call them by their real name.

you're name is not lily?

Oh. I thought we were talking about RL.
I understand now yerss.

Unfortunately, no.
It's Vanessa.

I think unless I knew their name, I'd call them by their username, my name is John, but I really perfur JP, since John is SO common.

I would have a difficult time with that.

I ment people you know from online who you're meeting in RL

lovely name, lily; I like it

I do like Vanessa, Lily. It would just be hard to switch since I have referred to you as Lily all this time.

You to Yerss.

i'd prefer my real name.But G.P sounds good to me

GP also sounds french

Vanessa is a great name. I think I would manage pick the right one whether we'd be IRL or not

Pronounce it i an english way,Yerss. That's the...way.
It may sound french but I like it

*Sings* G.P are you with me? Oh yeah. We havin church ain't goin nowhere.

Whew. I've wanted to say that since I noticed your screename.

Thanks everyone.
Though I do wish my name was Lily. Sounds perky.

it's not that if it sounds french, it's bad

*sad*

It is a song by Kirk Franklin and God's Property called stomp. It was popular mid 90's I believe.

okok!
everything that sounds french is bad!

I prefer that , Yerss

BBB2, It's Ok, you can keep singin'

Acually GP that all I can remember, but thanks anyway.

I did actually call Elle 'Edna' a couple of times, despite promising that I would not...

How did she react to it?

She smiled.

I'd probably end up calling everybody by their username, unless the real name is easier

Think I'll keep calling you kes, kes

lol I would def. call you yerss.

the most do that

You can refer to me as Bond, James Bond

itd be weird if ppl started calling me celsius.
my real name is kosta but my friends call me stan (which i dont like)
ps. hold all the stan the man and stanley ipcus jokes.

I was thinking in the lines of Stan from Eminem

I think I can get use to calling you kosta but it would sound portuguese

It wouldnt bother me, I respond to alsorts of strange names!

oh, but lara is a great name

i prefer most people to call me "your highness" myself.....
