More Username shenanigins

22 Feb 2010

Have you/do you ever find yourself referring to yourself or other SH members by their usernames in real life....even if you know their real names??
Im terrible for it redface

Cherrytree, with whom I socialise off site, is always referred to or called Cherry or Chezza, and never by her real name, shes even in my mobile as Cherry.
I know Nolas real name, yet always call her Nola when I talk about her.....not that I do talk about her...ooohhh you know what I mean surprised

ops:
Mrs NWC, whose real name is....well yeah....like Im gonna say here lol

....but I always refer to her as 'Naughtywigan' as in 'hey love...naughtywigans organising a munch'
A few people refer to me as Mrs B, which doesnt really matter as my real life initial is B, so I am Mrs B on the real world.
I always refer to resonance as Mr Res, even in my IM list and when i message him on FB
The trouble is, some people just really suit their usernames, or abbreviated versions of it....I could see Cherry being a Cherry and Nola really suits that name....even tho I know how that bit came into being as the initials of something.
I hope im not alone in this....else I really am going to look quite bonkers!!! :lol: :lol: Please tell me its not just me!

We do it all the time!!!! :doh:
I know that if I start calling people by their real names, one day I'm going to blurt it out in the chatroom. :sad:
But that does then cause a problem for those members who are 'closer' friends in real life, who still get called by their username at 'vanilla' gatherings.:giggle:
Some of them I can only remember the names when I see the 'naughty parts' (does this mean I spend too much time perving? dunno

)
Mrs Gu is always mis-reading usernames (she's famous for it), so that makes life even more interesting when meeting people. :lol2::lol2:
On an even more 'disturbing' note, we even refer to each other these days in real life as Mr or Mrs Gu!!! ( is there a psychatrist in the house?)

I quite often call friends from here by their screen names in R/L just habit I guess

I tend to do that as well......Unless of course they have a name like "stick-it-up-my-ass-now" or similar :lol2:

:thumbup: It does help sometimes that!
I always think of people as their username.
Yours quite contentedly,

I'm known as Lost or most other four letter words by the "community".
I must admit to trying and failing miserably on all but a few cases to try and call people by their names if I know them not their user names.
Mind you i've been known to call J, Mrs Lost, when out and about in vanilla world and that has led to at least one hurried explanation.

See above, if anyone shouts out "Oi NaughtyWigan" in the middle of tesco, I know it is either MrsB (who I always refer to as that rather than her real name) or its some one else from here :lol:
Disclaimer, the wonderful MrsB really does not embarras me in Tescos' its Asda where she normally does it wink

i have one friend from here i just can't call by her real name as it just isn't her whereas her user name describes her perfectly
friends from here still call us mr & mrs B even in everyday situations so much so that one of my clients that has a surname beginin with B and the girls in the salon have taken to calling mrs B i have to litteraly stop myself answering when they talk to her

Most times the usernames seem so ideal. My username is ideal and I prefer if pple called me that even in social gatherings and vanilla gatherings.
There are obviously some username that are hard to say in vanilla gatherings
