You're all weird. I've never introduced myself as Hank (or any of my other internet handles) to anyone, and even when I've met up with people that I met through RPG we all comfortably used each other's real names consistently. Losers.


This.

I've met online folks before and we would just use our actual names.

If I ever met you, I'd refuse to call you anything but Darog the Badger God.

It has a nice ring to it, and would probably get some weird looks in public.

The Badger God indeed.

I sign everything with "Clirkus" because it's quicker, already a mesh of my first and last names, and so illegible that nobody cares anyway.

Some of my friends call me Clirkus irl 'cause they think it's funny.

I call myself Gwazi Magnum on enough places (3DS Mii included) that most people know that I go by that name online.

I've never done this, ever. Hell it was embarrassing enough telling my husband what my name was on RPG/steam and some other stuff, all of it's the same. Worlds were colliding.

Virtually all of my RL friends call me Kaga. As does one of my professors.

I kind of like it more than my real name, so I'm cool with this.

If he ever decides to get online, his name would be a perfect username.

I remember a time when Mike and I were communicating offline and he refused to call me by my real name :/

It was a youthful dream of mine, my dad was a Captain when I grew up, so I wanted to be like him. It eventually became my goal in the army before my mind changed. I adopted the name Blitzkrieg because it was my game-clan handle and my paintball call-sign, but I eventually chose Toellner here to stick with nostalgia.

I don't even understand why RL friends calling you by your online name is such a negative thing.

Two of my friends decided to use shitty handles

I spliced them together and ended up with a better handle :)

I was 13, and very stupid, and thought "HaloAssault" was a cool name. I asked for it to be changed, but as everyone's experience with the old name-change thread attests to, the process was slow (not that I begrudge that; Mahz and Contra have better shit to do.) Of course, "Halo" was the natural shortening of that ridiculous name, so when I had to remake my account on NewGuild... this is the only place I have that handle, though. I have multiple others I use elsewhere.
