My screenname? CJFusco

My real name? C. J. Fusco.

I just say my real name fast when I introduce myself.

BRPORSCHE 01-23-2008 07:33 PM

I'm Tom, I'm from New Jersey, Louisiana, Texas, and possibly Japan.

But you can call me BR.

Both, but since my name is Bill, well, its not too hard to figure out my real name. Most folks recognize my car, not so much the car, but the damn aftermarket wheels, anyone have some 7 and 9 cups for sale?

on da sleeve sitting in my glass house baby! Nothing to hide!

I'm often told that you never have to guess where I stand on an issue.
I try hard to be nice to people here though.

MY name and proud of it.
Irish too 'eh!

Cheers

I rather be called and call other by screen name. Reason, 1- if someone likes to use real name, then why made up a screen name up here? 2- If calling each other by real name, another name beside screen name, now 1 person automatically has more then 1 name. It is too confusing to remember/identify.

Depends, if they know the secret Pelican handshake, I use my screen name, otherwise it's Todd

Real name for sure. Qualify it with screen name but who wants to speak only to "125cowshed"? Or "hey, ask fasterthanu if he'd like a drink".

Where screen names are nicknames that's a different story. Everyone has a real name somewhere in there though and I like to use it; I'm a grown up and can remember more than two things at once ;)

My "Pelican name" is my first initial and my last name, so I introduce myself as "Art Zasadny" and nobody recognizes me, but when I tell them my cars name (Helga), they remember that!

Paul K 01-24-2008 04:12 AM

This is the main reason I chose to have my real name as my user name!

"Hi, I'm Overpaid..." I use that with just about everybody, Pelican or not (except people selling things that I want to buy).

I tend to remember posters by their avatar at first. ZONAS comes to mind for some reason.

Noah930 01-24-2008 07:17 AM

Well, like it says in the OP, I use my real name when introducing myself. After all, Noah's the name of my son, not me. But since I bought the car on the day he was born, I hoped that I would own it long enough to someday pass it on to him. (Of course, we may no longer have gasoline by then. But it'll be cool kinetic sculpture, nonetheless.) "Noah's930" seemed a little long to type in everytime I wanted to log-on, so I figured "Noah930" was close enough.
