Board Name, or Real Name?

[Freitag]

Snacks brought this up in another thread, and I think it's good thread fodder, so...

Do you prefer both on the board and in real life to be refered to as your board name or your real first name?


I have a habit of referring to people I know "in real life" by their real first name on the board. To me, it's more polite, more personal, and less awkward. In contrast, people whose first names I know but I don't know them in real life I DON'T refer to by their first name. (Examples would be Hippo, HBox, etc. I think with Hippo it's also because there's another Jeff on the board.)

In real life, I call EVERYONE by their real first name and I refuse to call them by their board name. The only two people I remember calling by their board names in real life are Stugots (who I shortened to "Stu", which sounds like a real name anyway) and Pixie, and that's mainly because we are just acquaintances.

So what's your opinion?

[led37zep]

I think I'd be ok being called "led" but I'd feel like an ass introducing myself as "led37zep"

Even though that is my real name.

[mikeyboy]

This is why I like having my first name as part of my board name.

[RhinoinMN]

My name is Ryan. My board name is not too far off of that. Nobody knows me so my name is irrelevant.

[Snacks]

the reason i signed on to ronfez was i met some members at my cousins poker game. everyone i met called each other by their board name. when talking to my cousin or justice if they mention someone from the board i never know when they are talking about unless they use their board name.

[A.J.]

Yes.

Exactly. I should change the name.

[SyndicateParish]

I hear this!

I've been in crews, boards, guilds and I have about 8 different names that could get yelled out at any one time. I guess some of it is to accomplish is a level of anonimity. Some are endeering, some are dorogitory, some are me, trying to be cool..

Frankly I have a tough time remembering names, so I just call eveyone I like, 'brother', and I call everyone I don't 'hey you'.



p.s. no spells checks on this one.. sorry

[ScottFromGA]

My name is Ryan. My board name is not too far off of that. Nobody knows me so my name is irrelevant.

Scott is my real Middle name...Michael is my first name.

ShanefromGA...his first name is Shane, and we are different people!!

plus it doesn't matter....no one here knows me, too.

[hereintheUK]

People just call me Ace.

[Knowledged_one]

Quien es mas macho, Furtherman y Ferdinand?



Exactly. I should change the name.

I thought your name was Fernando

I think i would cringe if someone called me by board name, KO would be fine but at the first appeance i ever go to i would probably say i am KO but my name is Josh

[grlNIN]

It depends on the situation and person.

I know that some of the girls refer to me as both Maria and Ninny but that later is most often in the presence of someone else who may not know me as well and thus is familiar with me under the board name. I don't know why i would be in public and address someone with a board name if i know their real name and am talking to them on a personal level.

I think the most obnoxious and rude encounter I've had with this is when i went to the VIP club thing. I was standing outside with Gonzostyle and my boyfriend. A member walked up to me and exclaimed "Hey i don't know who you are!" to which i replied "...and i don't know who you are" and turned my back.

I just felt like, why would that be your introduction to someone you don't know? It seemed really self important.

[RhinoinMN]

KnockOut would be a cool board name.

[Knowledged_one]

KnockOut would be a cool board name.

I smell a fake board character

[Furtherman]

Fernando is Mikeyboy's lackey. He's shows up when needed.

[GvacMobile]

I always introduce myself as Greg when I meet people from here at an event, and when they look at me quizzically I add "Gvac on the board."

They invariably wind up calling me Gvac.

I've gotten used to it.

[Heather 8]

This is why I like having my first name as part of my board name.

This.

I actually didn't remind people calling me by my old board name online, but actually hearing people call me Peachy just gave me douche chills.

[IMSlacker]

My board name is stupid, so I'd hope that if I ever met any of you in real life, you'd call me by my real name, Gigantor.

[Marc with a c]

I changed my name after I started to go to events.

I always get a kick out of introducing cupcakelove to people.

[Thebazile78]

You know what? I used to get really pissed with you for using my real name here because I didn't know a lot of the other members, so it REALLY bothered me. Also, I hadn't given you permission to call me by my "real name" here on the board and I really felt that decision belonged to me and not to you.

Plus, I think that I am a lot meaner here than I am in real life, so it's really frustrating to have been "outed" without consultation.

[djjd]

This is why I like having my first name as part of my board name.


your parents named you boy? :wacko:

[Badinia]

Quien es mas macho, Furtherman y Ferdinand?

Knife!

Anyone who can pronounce my board name is welcome to use it. It rhymes with my real name.

[Dougie Brootal]

as stupid as it is my board name is my real name Dougg R. Asso .

[Knowledged_one]

as stupid as it is my board name is my real name Dougg R. Asso .

and here i thought that was just your gay porn name :tongue:

[Freitag]

Ninny/Maria brings up a good point. Whenever I meet someone in real life, I always add the standard caveat - "Hey, what's your real name? I don't like calling people by their board names?" It's awkward yes, but also honest. And once that initial awkwardness is out of the way, I don't feel awkward anymore.

I go between calling Effme by either EffMe or Lisa. It's part of the way my head works, because I already KNOW a Lisa from the board (Lisa Croft) so she's Lisa "in my head".

[walking joint]

i'll probably never meet any of you, but if i did i would have no problems with you calling me 'joint' or something like that...but calling me by my real name would be fine.

i HATE when i see people call posters by their real names on the board. not sure why it bothers me, but it does. unless its part of their board name.

[Freitag]

I really hope you're being sarcastic here and I'm missing it.

1) Your real name is the basis of your screen name. Am I missing something? A

2) Also, your brother outed you before we even KNEW each other,

3) and with the amount of "real world" stuff about our relationship you've put out there, I think I get a pass for the sin of calling the woman I dated/lived with/MARRIED by her real name.

[Friday]

I have been 'Friday' for so long now that I am used to answering to it. So unless I am out with mixed friends or with people who I know on a more personal level, it's usually what I am called.

I usually introduce myself with my real name first.... but the moment of recognition is always when I say "Friday".

[jauble]

My board name is first inital + last name. I have friends that call me that anyway. Most of the time its auble, very rarely is it jeff (thats reserved for professional/dating situations primarily).

[SinA]

My initials are S.A. and the "in" part doesn't mean anything. Maybe it did when I registered, but I forget. I've thought of changing my board name to "essay" since it still sounds like my initials, but then all my sigs would be obsolete.

[commish13]

I introduce myself as my board name, followed immediately by my real name. I'll answer to my board name, but I think it's stupid to be called it. Only reason I still sign up with this name anywhere is because it's become a habit since I've been using it for 10 years. On my two main message boards, my best internet "friends" call me "Nick" or "Marsico".

It just seems silly to me to want to be called by your board name by people in public. If you meet a random stranger, you don't introduce yourself by some silly message board name, so why would you do it with a person you've actually corresponded with before?

[Thebazile78]

I really hope you're being sarcastic here and I'm missing it.

1) Your real name is the basis of your screen name. Am I missing something? A

(1) This is true, but most people didn't think about it until I 'splained it.' In the "how did you come up with your board name?" thread.

(2) That was different; it was mostly by request. (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showpost.php?p=297084&postcount=32) (He IM'd me first. But nobody continued to refer to my me by my first name after that ... it was mostly the board name until you started with it.) And we had just met.

(3) This applies to past deeds, not present ones.

You just didn't get what I was trying to express. I was pissed at you for it; we talked it out and came to an understanding ... therefore, I am no longer pissed at you for it.

[DreamWeaver]

I HATE introducing myself as Dreamweaver at events. I feel like such a tool. On the show I was Gina from Hoboken so its much easier to say that then it is my board name.
And maybe thats why alot of people on the board address me as Gina.

[DolaMight]

Knife!

Anyone who can pronounce my board name is welcome to use it. It rhymes with my real name.

Aretha, Bovary, Celeste, Gipple,.. Mulva? ....

I know, Deloris!

Wasn't the payoff of the DreamWeaver bit that the real girl was just a mess?


(I mean, that's not the case with you, but still...)

[drusilla]

i guess some people who don't really know me call me dru, but most people just call me beth. except for sheepy & dizzy who love to call out my paltalk name: beffers.

Isn't it amazing that it's more embarrassing than those?

[Fallon]

I hate using board names at events. Prefer to get real names upon meeting people. Luckily my board name is my last name, so at least that's not awkward.

[underdog]

I've never met anyone from any board.

Although, my name on FBA is "My Real Name Is DJ" (even though its D.J.). But that came about because IRL, I get, "Is your name really D.J.?" all the time.

Maybe I should just change my name here to "D.J." and hopefully people will confuse me with A.J.

[ANC]

I was embarassed as shit when I went to the show. I friggin squirmed when I had to say my name to Sheepy, HTG, and Fleaman. Ugh I stink... I try to introduce myself as Anthony.

[Friday]

I still don't understand how "AnthonyNotCumia" is in any way more silly than "Sheepy", "HappyTypingGirl" or "Fleaman".

think about it..... they all sound silly!

I miss your old name..... :down:

I see your point. Not that it's a silly name, it's just a mouthful to say. That's why I had shortened it. Maybe one day I'll return to my roots.. I remember a while ago when I first wanted to change it:

When I meet someone, I intoduce myself by my real name. After a drink or 2 everyone just reverts back to calling me Tub. No biggie.

She introduced herself to me as "EffMe". I just felt really weird saying to her, "It's very nice to meet you EffMe."

[SatCam]

Board Name, or Real Name?

Everything works out because I legally changed my name to SatCam Crothers

[Furtherman]

She introduced herself to me as "EffMe". I just felt really weird saying to her, "It's very nice to meet you EffMe."

She said "Effme" and I started taking off my pants. THAT was awkward.

[Crippler]

As much as I hate my board name -- especially after the guy I named my cyberself after killed his family -- I (almost) always refer to everyone by their board name when on the board. This is mainly because I know how confusing it is when reading a post & not getting the joke, or even being able to follow the flow of the conversation, because you can't connect the comment to the real name & then to the board name. Usually you can figure it out, but it's not always readily obvious.

In the case of the very few events I've attended, I do always try to get the real name to go with the board name, just because it feels silly calling some board members by their board name.

[Tall_James]

See Mikeyboy's post.

[ChrisTheCop]

Yeah, I'm bad enough with names as it is. I call most people by their board names... sorry.

You can do the same with me.

I remember last year going to the Big Ass Bash and I had given CofyCrackCocaine my cell so he could meet up with us.

That was the weirdest phone call ever. "Hey Friday.... this is CofyCrackCocaine".

For anyone who cares, my first name is Kris with a K. My mother couldn't spell either...You are more then welcome to call me Kris if you please...

Dont want any confusions.

[Lady Resin]

I went to the last O&A softball game with a member from the original O&A messageboard. She kept calling me by my board name. It drove me insane.

[Gmann]

Unless I know someone as more than just a board aquaitance and have hung out with them lots of times I call them by their board name. If that bothered anyone in the past or anything I'm sorry.
Everyonce in awhile I have to catch myself and NOT call someone by their board name. Like Hosp called me couple weeks ago and I answered the phone "Hey Hosp whats up" and he got so mad I didn't refer to him as his real name.
I always seem to call Alkey Alkey and not Pat though.

As for myself....I don't mind either way. Gmann or George is fine with me. As long as someone knows me Im happy :thumbup:

But really, I WAS deepinthewoods on this board until I accidentally logged off and the password retrieval system failed multiple times, so I am not particularly married to any board name in the outside world. It would suck to lose the password again and not be able to log on to the real world.

My board name is the nickname that was given to me by my friends in high school so even people that have nothing to do with message boards at all call me Fandick.

I've even had a boss and a bunch of co-workers call me that so it's just like calling me Joe at this point.

I am guilty of preferring to call people by their board names at all times (there are only a few that I call by their real names) . It's just what I am used to.

But I tricked you all and put my name in my board name so I am not getting stuck being called Cunt Face or whatever in person.

I've only met and introduced myself to a few people at Unmasked tapings. Hearing someone (usually me) say 'Gritty' seems sillier than seeing it on a screen. I'll usually say "I'm Tom. Gritty from ronfez.net" and however I'm addressed from that point on is fine with me.

She introduced herself to me as "EffMe". I just felt really weird saying to her, "It's very nice to meet you EffMe."

Haha no worries! Sorry for making you feel weird.

If I was out in the street and I heard "EffMe" I would turn my head. It's instilled in my brain now.

Oh no....not at all! I really didn't feel weird. I just thought it would sound odd if I said it like that. That's why I went for the simpler "it's nice to meet you".

But next time -- I'll remember "EffMe" is OK with you!
