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.

Jakke PNG · 06-13-2006, 06:21 AM

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.

mrthumbs · 06-13-2006, 06:22 AM

MikeVega · 06-13-2006, 06:43 AM

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?"

We gotta catch up old man, it's been half a decade or so.

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.

ne0 · 06-13-2006, 07:57 AM

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.

SilentKnight · 06-13-2006, 08:03 AM

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.

06-13-2006, 08:04 AM

many of my real life friends call me "bdjuf"

sad but true

PussyTeenies · 06-13-2006, 08:05 AM

Juicy D. Links · 06-13-2006, 08:08 AM

sweetcuties · 06-13-2006, 08:11 AM

I like my name, suits me

Wizzo · 06-13-2006, 08:12 AM

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.

ridikuloz · 06-13-2006, 08:23 AM

yes it has happened before, but I don't mind.

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.

slapass · 06-13-2006, 08:43 AM

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 · 06-13-2006, 08:46 AM

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

Anal Hobbit · 06-13-2006, 08:50 AM

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.

if that was the reasoning behind my nick I would be a little annoyed to....there comes an age where gaming and irc should become a "spare time" kind of thing, and your business branding shouldn't be based on it

just my 0.02

Fallen Muffin Media is the name of my company so only made since my handle should be the same. Stuck with it now. I'm manly enough to turn pinkpansy into a masculine nick

bobbyjuly · 06-13-2006, 06:14 PM

when more people know you by your nick then your real name, i guess that nick becomes your second name. It is hard to drop it...
