    People uncomfortable with their online handle.

    saw this posted somewhere and thought it was kinda interesting.
    do you feel odd using your "handle" when meeting people face to face?

    I'm quite comfortable with it but I do remember feeling a little funny about it in the very begining. Now, its basically who I am in the business.

    Yeah. Mine sucks so much balls it's not even funny. I'm even uncomfortable using it online, but unfortunately I have a few years of brading on it, so I don't wanna change it anymore.
    ..and I'm off.

                  It dawned on me early that i would have to live with my Nick for some time and i changed it from Mvega325 ... to MikeVega .. it would suck to have to say "I'm Mvega325 ... how are you?"

                              I think branding is the main thing. I actually like my name because it's fitting. But like Mike I had mine changed a while back. On the flip side, I was trying to find "Three Piece Chicken Dinner" a few weeks ago. That would be an interesting convention floor introduction.

                              I think it would be even more embarrasing if you introduced yourself as your nick, and the person doesn't know or remember your nick. So then you would be standing there, meeting someone face-to-face for the first time and looking like an ass. Then the other party would either have to pretend and go along with it or call you on it. Now THAT would suck.

                                  90% of the people i know call me "neo", and it wasnt from the movie, it all started on EFnet (irc network), i was trying to find a cool nick, and there was this Final Fantasy Boss (game i was playing) named Neo Ex-Death, but they cant handle large nicks, so i put ne0 (with the zero). that was like 10 years ago, or something. now i can't get rid of it, pretty annoying sometimes.

                                    Most people I know IRL (from the web) just call me SK.

                                    I've used 'SilentKnight' since 1984 (as a CB radio handle in Toronto) - long before the web ever existed. Its a longtime brand.

                                              I'm comfortable with being called Wizzo or Jimmy, just don't like when it causes confusion, like someone says "have you seen Jimmy" and that person only knows me as Wizzo and says no, when they just saw me, as a example.

                                                  oddly, myself and a couple of hotties had fun at your name's expense in Vegas once.

                                                    oh no! I absolutely love when this happens! I can't tell you how many times I'll be standing with someone I know when someone I don't know wants to sell me something or something and I go, "I'm a small time guy just getting started. can you help me?"
                                                    that usually makes them wrap up quickly or make the person I'm with bust out laughing. either way, its good.

                                                      A few years ago i ran around Vancouver with Aaronm and some others yelling "slapass! over here." a few times. I do not do a lot of shows but this is one thing i should change.

                                                        Minte has been my nickname since I was a kid.Most of my friends still call me by that name.

                                                          My name tends to get some attention.. Playing black jack with you years ago, and having you say "good one Anal Hobbit" got some strange looks from the dealer and other players at the table.

                                                          But its all good.

                                                              do you feel odd using your "handle" when meeting people face to face?

                                                              I'm quite comfortable with it but I do remember feeling a little funny about it in the very begining. Now, its basically who I am in the business.
                                                              Much like McDonald's is the God of fast food, 12clicks is the...........well, you get the idea.
                                                              I say "Hi I am NakedSword Holly" so much I noticed myself doing it in a non porn event the other day! But I like being known as that is much better then some other names I have been called!
