Well I'm glad he made way for a Superior Paul then.
I like the name Gene. That's my grandpa's name.
My grandpa's name was Maynard. I had to associate him with Bleys for years.
Since he hardly ever posts here anymore, I think you should be called Bleys from now on, since you both coincidentally have the same made up name. I vote for a name change.
I never understood why some people are so shy/nervous about using their IRL names online. I find it terribly narcissistic personally; like anyone else is going to care that your name is Curly Joe Bob or whatever. If you're one of those people who're going to post a picture(s) for the online world to see then I don't see how a name is any worse. Especially people with common names, like anyone is going to be able to track you down on a first and common name. Hell if one were resourceful enough they could just reverse trace IP addresses and emails and even tap into them without a name...not that I know how to do that sort of thing. Nope.

derp
Except for friends I met IRL, I call everyone by their screen names when online. Even people I've been talking to for years.
I don't like it when EoFF people call me Jess, because it confuses me. I can't always tell if they're talking about me, Rye, or Jess. People used to think Jess changed her name to Jessweeee♪ when she'd stop posting here for a little while.
Recently my friends started calling me Jessweeee and it's weird.
Can we just call you "wee wee" then!
Rod, Roddy or Hot Rod in days of yore over here
IRL, Murti, Mozart, M-dog, Bacardi and
and Mum use to call me
Mui Mui 0_o
HOTROD"Lets go for a spin you and I"
Huh. My screen name is my real name, so I apparently don't mind people calling me by my real name. :P
In terms of others... I dunno. Depends on the person, I guess. On how well I feel I know them.
I plan on changing my name to Markus when I grow up xD! or Deacon.
People can call me whatever they want to call me, it doesn't bother me. Whatever you feel comfortable with. Still, I'd prefer if it was my screen name, real name, or a variation there-of. Making up something random will probably not get a response.
Bri-dog, eh?
