Would you answer to your ST screen name?
Permalink Closed


If someone called you by your ST screenname IRL, would you answer to it?

I've got to say, I most definitely would, and I probably wouldn't realize that someone had called me by my ST name instead of my real name!  It's become rather ingrained over the years, I suppose.

What about you?

I would, but certain people actually use it as my nickname so it wouldn't be a surprise.

I probably wouldn't. Then again, my name is a piece of footwear.hmm

On the other hand, when I was in England & Scotland last month I got a real kick of seeing Boots stores all over the place.  w00t.gif

Yep. But it is because it is already like a nickname I guess.

Not that I'd expect anyone to call it out loud, but I bet I would. As a matter of fact if someone asked me if it was me I'd probably secretly be psyched. It'd be like being part of a secret club :)

I would the first part since that is my middle name. I always think it would be funny if someone recognized me in real life from either st or my blog.

I'm not sure I would -  it's not a nickname of mine. I got the name idea from Home Alone (the robbers call themselves the wet bandits).

Oh definitely. It's been my online name for many many years. Even people who know my real name still call me Su if we first "met" online.

I don't think I would answer to this name but on another forum a long time ago I gave myself a nickname of Cate for my "real" name over there and it has stuck for 3 years. I definitely have answered to it when Mike has called me that since I'll get mail under that name or when I've done forum meet ups with a few of the members.

Probably not...it's like my "other life" name that nobody knows about except you ladies! But if I see the name fairywings on other forums (that isn't me,) I get very protective. I mean, I invented it!
