    Sometimes we have some crazy username we have online, what if you got your real name changed to your username? how different would your life me? Would be a hard adjustment?
    Or would you just cringe the entire time at your new name?

    Bonus question, what if you had to change your real name to your most cringiest username you ever have, what was it and how would you adjust to it?
     
    My screen tag I used around 2010-2011 was "Happy_Boy".

    I have no idea why I thought that was a good username.

    If this were my real name, I would probably live on a remote island. If my real name changed to my username, it would just be really generic and not a big deal. But still weird. I always find social media and my real name weird.

    I mean what I have now is a version of my real name. The reason I have Caite-chan is because I was going to join Bulbagarden as Caitlin (my real name) but surprise someone had already taken it so I switched it up to what I have now.

    Some of my other names I've had over the years: Shane O Mac v 3, Team Rocket James, Skate Master Tony, Karisuma-Teichou, Bioactive Showtime and Slave To Petey. I know there's some I may be missing but dear lord what crack was I on back in the day. xDDD
     
    I don't want to reveal my name online so I wouldn't enjoy it if it became my username. Nothing against my actual name, though, it's fine.

    I don't think I've had too many bad usernames, but one I made when I was trying to be "edgy" was Little Death Rose... yikes
     
    I always took my real name if I could, or I usually make it some variation of my name because I'm not creative, but if I do it now people will probably think I'm meming because my name is Karen

    My worst username was probably _pheonix156_, which was my first Neopets account. It's kind of like something Elon would name his kid, with all the numbers and symbols
     
    my username's just a variation of my real name as is, so it honestly wouldn't bother me as much lol. cringiest username i think i've ever used was Sparky433 in Club Penguin. if that doesn't scream 8 year old, i don't know what does. don't care how much it costs, if i had it irl i'd change it immediately.
     
    I literally have a sylveon tattoo - no one would be surprised if I changed my name to Fairy lmao. And the only other past usernames I used was Alexial, which isn't a bad name either, and Dreadqueen, which sounds badass haha.
     
    Having Aslan as a real name would be powerful but I don't think it'd work for me. I am struggling to think of what my worst username ever was (there have been a lot). One of them is a pun on my full name but if I were to use only the first half then I'd just be called Soap in real life which is fine with me since some of my close friends already use that nickname. I think the reason some of my friends started calling me Soap is because I told them about that cursed e-mail address hahahah
     
    My real name is Austin, so...

    I'm not particularly embarrassed of my past usernames, so I don't think I would hate being called by any of them irl. It would be a little weird, but if I think about it as more of a nickname then I'm sure I'd get used to it quickly. Guildmaster Wigglytuff would probably be the weirdest to adapt to.
     
    Seliph is a good name, I'd be fine with it. Before that it was Marth, which is also a good name. For the longest time I used R.F. because it allowed me to just make up different "alt names" with those two letters. In some places I also added a "The" at the beginning.

    The last one feels very outdated, though. I don't know if I'd like having to deal with it, anymore. I suppose I could make it work somehow as its generic appearance allows for some creativity.
     
    Dawn is my real name so I'd be fine with it. If my forum username was changed to my birth name I would not be happy though.

    Being called Zeria, Meyneth, or Meloetta irl might be a bit weird though, and I've had so many edgy forum usernames that I've lost count...and do not wish to disclose them. I prefer to pretend I was never a teenager. xD
     
    Being called Hyzenthlay in real life would kind of suit me, actually, so I could get used to it! As for the other username I'm known as, Clover, well... that'd make a super pretty irl name!

    My cringiest one? Probably Mousy or Mokoko... I outgrew that "kawaii" stage in my life and don't want to go back. 😅🙈
     
    Curly Brace is not a name I want to be stuck with in real life. I'm thinking of changing it, actually, but to what?

    I remember when my username was literally just my first and last name. Why did I think it was a good idea?
     
    I think I might be ok with Eleanor becoming my real name - after all it's just a common person's name swapped with another common person's name, right? Well... Eleanor just doesn't work too well with my perceived gender, and being able to explain all that to most people would definitely turn out to be a hassle, I'm sure! :C
    Cyaloom / Loomie as a name might already be better for this purpose, but I don't necessarily like it too much anymore, I'll admit~

    As for my cringiest username... let's not talk about it, it's probably not that cringy but it's quite obvious that I would be super embarrassed by it 😢
     
    I have always despised my full name, but being named after a Pokemon would only worsen the situation. I imagine my username would elicit confusion if this was my actual name, and get many requests that it be repeated, spelled or have the meaning explained, and probably garner some ridicule.

    I don't like drawing attention to myself, so i would be cursing my parents if they put me in a situation where I would have to sign formal documents with a name like Vision of Milotic. Other than increasing my sense of insecurity I don't think my life would be very different than it is now--- a name like Milotic would have been changed the day I came of age to do so, and become a normal name like Catherine, Rachel etc.
     
    mmm, wouldn't really care if my real name irl became Palamon, I already use "Pala" in games, anyway, so nothing would really change.

    my worst user name was Yuki's Sword, I would NOT want to be that irl, fuck no.
