(4 Months Later) By The Way, My Name Is...

**Evastio** · 03-13-2009, 05:46 AM

(Me hanging out at the lounge during lunch)

Guy #1: That sure sucks (insert my real name here).
Guy #2: Huh, what?
Me: I thought I told you not to say my name!! I told you I don't like it!!
Guy #1: (To Guy #2) You mean you don't know his name? Then what do you call him when you try to get his attention?
Guy #2: Uh, I don't know.

So, yeah. I guess it's official that I'm as reluctant to reveal my real name in real life as I am online. It's also really strange, considering that I've been hanging out at that lounge since November, and have gotten familiar with the people that hang out there, knowing most of their names, while everyone except for Guy #1 (who I reluctantly told my name after he asked me for it) and a friend I've known for 6 years now (who also invited me to hang out at that lounge), don't even know my name.

So when you meet up with someone, and you figure you're going to be seeing them and talking to them quite a lot, do you introduce yourself to them and tell them your name first thing, after you meet up with them enough times, or do you try to avoid people knowing your name altogether?

I give my name if it's asked or if I'm introducing myself.

I bet your name is like Long Dong Silver.

**qwertysaur** · 03-13-2009, 05:52 AM

I give out my names pretty openly. (Yes, I have more then one name)

btw My Hebrew name is Binyamin Avraham ben Rivkah Kaiylah.

**Tama2** · 03-13-2009, 05:53 AM

I always introduce myself. I feel rude otherwise.

**LunarWeaver** · 03-13-2009, 05:57 AM

Evastio, I know your name and it is actually neat, not something to hide.

I don't initiate introductions, but usually they do and say their name, and I just say Kyle. Problem solved.

His name isn't even bad, however John Batman does have the right to stay indoors.

**LunarWeaver** · 03-13-2009, 05:59 AM

I would hock over millions of diamonds for my name to be John Batman.

How about Woody Allen?

My name is the irish equivalent of John (despite that im not Irish), shouldnt be that hard to figure out.

**Shoeberto** · 03-13-2009, 06:17 AM

I always feel goofy introducing myself as "Stu," so usually I introduce myself as Stuart. Then, if they're around friends/family, it gradually will transition to Stu. So how people refer to me is a pretty decent implication as to how closely they know me.

Kind of funny really. When I meet people, we'll introduce ourselves by name, and then never call the other by name.
