Reading over the thread usernames… vote most/least original started by ssskuggiii and admiring all of the various and unusual names people use here, I couldn’t help but wonder if folks use their names anywhere else? I’m Baglady because I’m “Baglady” everywhere else. But some folks, like Swimming Riddles – is that your NORMAL nickname? Do you use it for other discussion boards or lists?
Phobos is my cybername. I don’t leave realtime without it.
I don’t use it anywhere else. But maybe I should. Maybe we should all use our SD names as vanity plates on our cars.
I’m too lazy to think up of any screen name, so I usually use Louie or BigLouie on other boards.
Nope. I’m only vandal here. I like to have different names for everything - AIM, ICQ, other MBs/communities, email addresses, etc. - I get tired of seeing the same name everywhere.
I use this name on the snopes Board, on certain interactive websites, and I post on usenet with it (though that’s rare). I also recently joined the Fathom Board with this name.
I feel more comfortable posting if I don’t have to worry about people I know (like from work) randomly surfing and finding it, or doing a search on my real name in Deja.
Nope. Just here.
Never had a nickname, and at this late stage I don’t want one.
This is the only chance I’ve had to pick my own name since Confirmation.
I use this one on Fathom, but that’s it. My IRL nickname is just my last name, and I use it on Snopes, IFSJA, and others. It was already taken here.
Are you saying that CalMeacham is your real name? I thought you were taking the name from one of the main characters in the movie This Island Earth, an MST3K favorite.
Vandal, read the thread title and my reply again. Take deep breaths.
I DID take “CalMeacham” from TIE. I only use it here, so people won’t mistake me for Rex Reason. Elsewhere, like in Stately Wilk Manor, I use my real name.
(“Yes, that’s it. Criminals fear Kangaroos. I shall become a Kangaroo and avenge my parents.”)
I would use another one if I were imaginative enough.
I have a group of about 5 or 6 names that I use on a rotating basis, based on what is available when I am signing up.
I only use 2sense on-line. Wherever I am online.
I suspect, however, that if someone said it out loud then I would respond.
I’m Anniz everywhere, if it isn’t taken.
Maybe it’s boring to use your real nickname.
But I like my name, so…
I use whatever is on my mind at the time. When I created my account here, I was finishing up a song I had written, and my username came from the chorus (see my sig). I’m not a particularly ironic person; I just thought it sounded cooler than King of Futility.
Not too active on any boards but this one, so I really don’t have much use for a pseudonym anywhere else.
I use this whereever I go, although sometimes Zyada is already taken (then I add TX to my alias)
I also use it IRL as my stage name, so I even get called Zyada by friends.
I’m always Ugly, UglyGuy, or RJKUgly.
Ugly
I use this one only here except when I’m RPing I use it sometimes (one of my characters is named this but I rarely play her) I used to go to Chick Click but I find this place more interesting. There I was Fireflaw. I have several nicknames and actually only one I get called irl sometimes.
Maybe I’m just full of myself (or maybe I just have a bad memory), but most every place I go, if I don’t use my real name (Kathery), then I use Gr8Kat. My AOL screenname is gr8kat1 because <gasp> there was already a gr8kat. But, as I said in the Most Original/Least Original thread, my name ain’t original.
My real name is Katheryn, not Kathery.
i use boccmon everywhere online.
