Real names or forum names
 
Hello everyone. If you know someone's real name on a forum, do you call them by your forum name or do you call them by their real name? I like to use their forum name as then that way others will know who I am referring to.

I only call people I know in person by their real names (which is only Abe Babe/Kristen)... And everyone else I don't know, so I call them by the name they posted as!

i call every one by there forum name...........tell me if any one wants me to call them some thing diffrent............

paramiteabe 10-04-2002 10:44 AM

Same here I call everybody by their forum name because I don't know their real names. Even though I do know Abe Babe and Pilots names/Kristen and Justin.

General Drippik 10-04-2002 11:21 AM

Pilot-Justin. That's all.

If I know somebody's real name, I'll use it. In case 2 guys I know have the same name (for example "The Daves"), I'll choose which name I want to call each of them (for example I call D.I., Dave and Majic_Abe, Majic). By the way, my real name is Luke, for those who wish to know.

I usually just use forum names unless a post is of a more personal nature (i.e. directed as a response to a member who asked a question and I know their real name).

Or if most people know someone by their real name I would use that. Sometimes I will use their real name and then their forum name in brakets. Although I do mess up sometimes when referring to Justin (Pilot), by just putting his real name instead of forum name.

Abe Babe...

Rex Tirano 10-06-2002 04:22 PM

Majic 10-06-2002 04:58 PM

I'll call people whatever I want. If I know their real name, its that. For other cases, its things like Rexy, PA, etc... You''ll know if I'm talking to you.

I'm Dave, David, Davey, whatever your in the mood for. Or Majic, but don't call me Majic_Abe. The Abe part at the end just isn't me.

Let me take a stab at Mitsurs name. Either Cory or Casey. Or Colby, I have a friend named Colby.

Mac, now I get your name. Cute, but are you a guy or a girl? (silly quuestion) Guy, isn't it?

I think I'll stick with PA, or maybe a name such as Delbert might work. Or how about Daniel, or Dip. Hm...

OddPod 11-08-2002 05:03 AM

Al the Vykker 12-22-2002 09:49 PM

My forum name is Al the Vykker. I chose this because my real name is Al, and my two fav species are the Glukkons and the Vykkers. So i chose last year when I was registering, hmm Al the Vykker just would sound better. So thats why my name is what it is.

My real first name is Alexander, but my name that is always said at school and by my friends is Al. I dont know how many people called me just Al having that knowledge though here.


-Al the Vykker

Facsimile 12-23-2002 08:27 AM

I call people by their forum names, I don't know their other ones. And often it annoys me if I don't know who someone is talking to when they use their true name.
