Do Ya Likes/Want To People Call You By Your Real Name?

digi-kun May 27th, 2004 4:53 PM

um...no i prefer not to be called by my name online...

Pokedragonfire May 27th, 2004 5:14 PM

Nobody know my name anyway, I like to be called Pokedragonfire anyway.

TRIFORCE89 May 27th, 2004 5:30 PM

To quote somebody from another forum:

"Just a bit too weird hearing it [online alias name] from somebody I really know offline..."

Personally, I prefer if people I don't know IRL don't know my name. But at the same time I'd prefer to be called by real name by people I do know offline. Nobody IRL comes up to me and says, "Hey TRIFORCE89!". And likewise I don't call people by their online names IRL (yet it appears I'm not calling people I know IRL by the real names here anyway ;P). If you know my IRL and know my name then call me by it if you like. That's most likely how the rest of you will end up knowing because I'm not going to tell you, you'll most likely read it if someone calls me it. But then if you do know it but don't know me I would prefer if you call me TRIFORCE89.

EDIT:---------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, I think I just changed my mind. Just TRIFORCE89 by anybody. I like my privacy. *may end up changing mind again*

Cassie-chan May 27th, 2004 5:43 PM

I don't have a perferance...but no one knows my real name on here, anyway. :) (Cassie is my name)

ASG May 27th, 2004 5:46 PM

i made a theard about that. No i don't like being called my real name only ASP OR ANTI-SPAM OR my name on here or A-SP.

jokestr2004 May 27th, 2004 5:48 PM

Meh... On the net, I dont really care if someone knows my name or not, I just would prefer the names jokestr2003, jokestr2004, jokestr, or j... but uh preferably just j.

In real life, they call me Brad.. (thank god not Bradly X_x) and when I try to get them to call me j, they call me B. so yeah.

I'd prefer people to call me by my RL name instead of 22sa if they know what it is... Only in private chats/messages though. It's my real name afterall! I just don't want my RL name posted.

I knew your name before! Its in your Trainer's Card that I made!

ryan May 27th, 2004 7:26 PM

i don't really care either way. i prefer calling people by real names though. most of the time they're much easier to remember.
so you can call me ryan or rsgh5 or rlgd5 or whatever the heck you want.

bna_li May 27th, 2004 7:28 PM

Yeah... because bna_li is kinda hard to pronounce, call me Ben.

Frostweaver May 27th, 2004 7:28 PM

Well there is a reason why I didn't sign up with my real name...?

I prefer screen name here of course. I personally believe that you should call someone by their screen name unless you're very certain that you're very close to that person, close enough to call that person by real name...

bna_li May 27th, 2004 7:31 PM

Maybe your name was already taken, so you made this up? Well, that's one reason that you could have had to sign up as Frostweaver.

Timbjerr May 27th, 2004 7:33 PM

well, since most people already know me by "Tommy" better than by "tmbjr", I guess I'd rather be called that. Besides, when I'm looking throug ha thread and I see someone refer to me as tmbjr, i kinda miss it cuz I'm here looking for "Tommy" XP

*~Ashley~* May 27th, 2004 7:38 PM

I really don't have a preference to what people call me. Snowangel is fine... but if you prefer to call me Ashley then go ahead. A couple of people already use my real name instead of my screen name so it really doesn't matter. The only issue with the latter choice is that Ashley is a more common name and may confuse people. But I honestly don't care which you call me by... I'll respond to either.

asher_son_of_ash May 28th, 2004 1:56 AM

:P I don't like people calling me by my real name since I don't like my name. o.o; So, I'm Asher to you. =P

LanceLite May 28th, 2004 6:51 AM

some of my bestest online friends call me Shome...... but normal ppl call me Lance or Lite.... thats kinda it....

shining_light May 28th, 2004 7:45 AM

i don't like being called by my RL(it's Lexy in case you were wondering) but i like being called lil' schu! it's my RL nickname too.

Purin May 28th, 2004 8:16 AM

You can call me either Purin or Pudding. My RL name won't sound as nice, so just call me by those two.

Castrainer May 28th, 2004 8:22 AM

Looks like almost everyone here dont like the real names...
I like Gian ^__^ Call meh Gian! LOL

Dusty Pikachu May 28th, 2004 8:44 AM

I really prefer that people call me by my real name, Ren. So, everyone feel free to call me by that XD

Kayleigh May 28th, 2004 9:23 AM

Well, Kayleigh is my real life name, so it's not like it makes any difference. I don't really care what people call me; I have a lot of nicknames online and off. Usually I'm called Kay for short, but it doesn't matter! I love having nicknames. ^_^

I know your real name is Kayleigh... Its a great name!
*thinks to put my daughter's name Kayleigh...*

Greed May 28th, 2004 10:48 AM

I DO NOT like for people to call me by my real name! XD Its meaning does not match me and its long. I prefer Toon, or cartoon, or any nickname!

I don't like calling people by their first names cus most sound boring. And sometimes TWO of meh friends have the same name! So I nickname em!
Examples:

Kayleigh: Kay-Kay
Zento: Kim-Kim
Dizzy: Dizzy-boi
Frostweaver: Frosty
Miyu-Chan: Mum

See?? XD

*dies*
