Do you consider your username to be your second name?

I think it actually goes a bit further than just being a second name. For me it's not only another name, it's my online persona. Kind of like a "Cyber Identity," if you will. I'm sure other members feel the same, I'm just a tad lazy at the moment to read over the 4 pages. :]

Yes, because I never reveal my real name online to anyone except my closest friends. So technically, when I'm online, The Corrupt Plauge IS my name. If a forum asks for personal info when I want to join, it is always fake.

Let's Get Lost Together isn't something everyone calls me everyday. Not even here at the community would I be called that, as some may find it too long. However, when they don't they simply revert to my older name, Aero. which for them is natural, simple, and shorter. For real life though, many people find themselves calling me Shivi, which is my nickname. However, I do plan to get a name change this coming october to something I seem to really enjoy and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up growing on me after awhile.

By Drew: Yes.

This name.. doesn't even make me think of the Pokemon character anymore. xD; So many people online think that it's my real name. Heck, I bet you I could change my username, and everyone would still call me Drew. I've had it since I joined here, and even before that I used it on a couple of other forums. On most of the Pokemon forums I joined, I keep the SN. It's just easier that way.. the end result is no one calls me by anything else. Except for one or two people on here, who know my RL nickname and call me by it. :x

Literally.. only two people, that I can think of. xD;

You are very right on what you said here. Recently you've gotten your name altered from Drew to Break. Even though it is your new username, I still end up finding myself referring to you as Drew. So, it is a name that has definitely grown onto me for which I call you.
 
Ever since I started using "Timbjerr", people on the internets call me "Tim" for short, which I've adapted as my RL nickname...even though my name is Tommy. XD
 
Nope. My user-name never fits with my nickname. There's always a chance for the next user-name, but not this one.
 
Nope, I just use it for this site because it is about pokemon!!
 
It only suits some nicknames, doesn't it? xD

Yes, my username on PC is the one I'm most known as, and I use it in the IRC chan where I met most of my friends here.

I'm Camisado, Cami, Cami-cake (thanks Siggy xD), Cami-shaa (oh, that waka), Cam, Cam-chan, Cam-shaft (curse you mewthree xD) and sometimes Kellysado (my real name is Kelly - I believe this name came from Audy).
 
Well sometimes people call me Diggy.
 
Technically I can now say yes. XD This username is what many friends off of PC and on PC call me. Never do I get called by my real name anymore. XD
 
No, not this username. Some of my closer friends call me Luna occasionally because of my email address, but not nearly often enough to even be called a nickname.
 
Yup. On the internet, I ALWAYS go by Dragoon Three. (My first username.)
 
Well, if I told my friends too, it would be understandable... But I wouldn't like people calling me a "freak", for any certain reason. ;)

No, I don't consider my username as my second name. I have a lot of different names I use on different forums. Not only that, but I'm also starting to dislike this username (didn't think when choosing a username). It's too long and hard to spell, and because of that, I've been given a nickname. I'll have to wait for about four more months until I can get a name change. I'm currently debating on what my next username should be. The second username I'm choosing is what I'm gonna stick with for a very long time.
 
Since this was the first forum I joined where I actually made friends, yes. Yes I do. My first nickname here was Silver, given to me by Astinus, so the writing community typically calls me that. However, the Pokemon Special community usually calls me Splatty. SSS is another one, I suppose, and it's always my post comment tag since my username is long. I modded another forum where my username was Sydian, which is also my writer's name, so usually Silver and Sydian (or Syd) are my second names. I like to pretend Splatty doesn't exist. :B

Edit; Also, I would never expect (or want) to be called Healthy Libido in person. Ever. I used Irishaboo on another forum for a long time to stalk Rekhyt and I used it as a MySpace name, but my friend Scott made fun of me for it. I thought it was cool, so then I beat him in the face with an American soup ladle. I went by Kurt Cobain and got called that...a lot...so I thought I was Kurt Cobain for a while. Color Me Happy and Genocide never stuck with people, though. I'm pretty much ranting so I'm just gonna go away.
