| Post subject: | Nom de plume |
As you may well imagine E. F. Benson isn't my real name. Heres the thing, a list I subscribe to has a new member who chooses to call himself Ben Dover. It's a real world thing and everyone else uses their real name, there are even meetups occasionally. I just can't take this one seriously, every query he posts I view with suspicion, when is his mate Phil going to join and were his parents sadists? Did he go to school in the UK? Should I be rude and ask? </conflicted> |

That is possibly what he wants as an ego boost. Just ignore the name and seek meaning from the posts. If the posts have no meaning then ignore everything. |

This sounds sensible to me. Although I can totally understand, as it would frustrate/intrigue me as well. I'm okenobi everywhere and recently signed up for a Lanzarate forum with that name where everybody else is "Jill", "John", "Bob" etc. so I guess I'm the awkward one. |

I should probably clarify at this point that JonBWFC isn't actually my real name either. That would have been a seriously weird thing for my parents to have done. |

Well okenobi isn't my real name. I tend to go by old Ben these days. The clone wars were a long time ago... |

I think my name is short-ar$e as that's what they call me at work. I'm just pleased it's hyphenated  Al |

Well my user name is clearly not my real name either. The amnesia is because I have that condition and the 10 is because when I joined the Dennis forums that was the name assigned to me, so I have just carried it on here. I do try and use as many different user names as possible, so that I cannot be traced as that plonker from x404.

I use Snaptophobic as a nom de plume. It's my Flickr nickname, and my blog and Twitter names. I use it when I don't necessarily feel I need to be identified in a gender specific manner. The name I use here is close to my real name. In my everyday life I go by the name of Heather von Kelvingrove Ponsonby-Smythe Featherstonehaugh the Third.

Strangely to my friends Veato is my real name! To most others I'm Phil. To my mother (particularily if I've done something wrong) I'm "PHILIP!" |
