Using your screenname offline

Do you ever use your screen name in your daily offline life, and has anyone ever thought you strange for using it?

I got a keyring where you can make your own name by buying letters, and I spelt "Xander" with it and I have it hanging from my bag.

A girl I hang around with at college saw it and said, "What does your keyring say?". Me: "Xander". Her: "What's that mean?". Me: "It's my other name!" Her: "O........kay."

I also used the name when I had to make a personal site for college. So now most people at college know about my screenname, although I think some probably think I'm a bit odd for using it xD

So do you like to use your screenname much offline, and what sort of reactions have you had, if you did? Obviously, Joel need not answer. ;D

No

Make that Joel AND Moo Moo the Ner Cow need not answer. xD

Imagine if I did? That would be so ghey

never done did it.

With ANY of my SNs.

What Wuppa said.

But yeah...that be stupid. But I did hear people in my Physics class mention my nickname Dingo Jellybean because my class is full of gaming nerds that visits GameFAQs. *shudders*

No.

I'd probably only let Del call me Yams offline. Anyone else gets a kick in the crotch.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Divina.

It'd be kind of weird having PeTeRL90 on something of mine.

I mention Linus a lot in everyday conversations, but I don't think anyone's ever caught on.

I wouldn't mind someone else calling me Jebus, but I'm not the only person who uses Jebus as a screen name.

I have.

I've gone to things similar to Mills Day at other forums and I used my username the first time and then after that we would use our real names.

yeah people call me Bert on the occasion.

A few years ago my Korean friends called me "Little Tokki," which eventually became my main screen name (minus the "little"). Other than that, no.

It makes for a good name for Laser Tag :D

My girlfriend thinks it's pretty cute that I have this name for forums and such, but I don't use it at all outside of the 'Net. :D

I'm always called by my SN, even my family calls me that.

No.

Yeah I use V06 a lot. I write it on my books and stuff out of boredom. Its not that I like FF, I just like the name Vincent. Sue me. One girl used to call me Vivi.... why is beyond me.:sweatdrop

[q="Xander"]Obviously, Joel need not answer. ;D[/q]

I don't think I ever get called by my SN offline, though my real name is part of my SN.

I use my screen name a lot. In fact, my classmates and my instructors know my screen name and... they like it!

There was one time in IT Message Board that one of my instructors wondered who is Wind Shear. She thought that the screen name is a foreigner. Upon I logging in, she said "Huh? Ikaw pala si Wind Shear!" (Huh? You are Wind Shear!)

:p

This was originally an offline name, and a couple people still call me by it.

No, no one ever calls me RSL offline.

People call me Ben because I am Ben!

I'm called White Raven (or just Raven) by my friends all the time. I don't think that they remeber my real name sometimes ><

No. Never.

Nope, no one's ever called me Mullet or Flying Mullet, although chadmonkey was a nickname I had in college by one of my friends.

People never refer to me as edczxcvbnm in real life because they can not pronounce it.

I have been called Keliz(my other online name). I use it over at LH's site zenosaga. Although I don't post much there :P

I call Sephex that name all the time.

My name came from a nickname my cousin gave me, and he still calls me Kirkpatrick from time to time. Every once in a while one of my friends makes reference to it, because I use it on Msn as well.

Some examples:

"Nice hooters"

"Let's go to Hooters"

"Check out her hooters"

"That guy's got hooters"

"Nice hooters"

"Show us your hooters"

"Hooters"

"Nice tits."

So do people say this to you a lot?

Yes, I use my screen name offline. No one think it's weird, because it is my name. Some people aren't used to using it though because it's actually my second name, but they don't think it's weird...they're just used to my other name, which I'm using less and less.

My Screen name is, of course, my real name.

i went to a LAN party on campus recently, and folks there called each other by their online handles. Guys that knew each other perfectly well. i found it both awkward and silly.

But really, to take on a screen name is to make it a name by which online folks know, reference and address you; it's no different than a nickname. So i suppose, logically, it shouldn't be that odd.

But that doesn't mean i didn't find it so. Wacky gamer culture.

My screen name came from "real life" first :o!

Giggles = ALL THAT I AM AND EVER HAVE BEEN.

Sort of :o~

No one calls me anything because no one talks to me.. :(

I'd talk to you and call you Mo dash Nercy cubed if I saw you for sure :):)

I'd call you Stalin.

Oh, and I've never used this SN offline.

I'd call him Yams... I don't know him by any other name. :( It would be wrong to name him otherwise.

I tend to use nicknames everywhere. I called Shlup 'Shlup' or 'Squeak' when I was around her, for example.

Some people call me BoB, but rarely. I think about 99% of people who meet me call me Daniel.

i do film and television studies.

my production team in my class is called *Pixie Demon Productions*

anything i have to have an alias for, it is always pixie demon, or smashing pixies.

umm yeah

my friends sometimes call me pixie, coz im pretty damn short.

thats all!!:tongue:

Only a few people actually know my online name IRL, so no, I don't use it.

Having people call me 'Raine' in person would be very weird.

I think someone called me Gau at "20 minute's from Mills Day". But that's about it. It was probably Paul though, GOW!

I don't even know how to properly pronounce my screen name.
