    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.

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

    EDIT: Oh yeah, and Divina.
    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.

    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!

    My offline nickname is pronounced same way as my screenname. That's it, I guess. *_*

    About 3 years ago some guy I knew referred to me by the name "Psycho", which was my name on Planetarion (EVIL) then.

    God that makes me so proud. But it could have been that because one of the other PA players was called Paul, and his name on PA was lame or something. Like "Captain Startopia". Ew.

    LadySteph - the lady = Steph = my name. *Shrugs* So yes in a way. I don't like people calling me Stephanie. I like just Steph.
