Do you identify yourself as your KB identity on rides?

[idleidolidyll]

I don't and I never even ask the identities of the other riders I meet. I don't want to know their aliases, I'm more interested in their names.

Yes, I'd rather judge them on the way they act in real life than on preconceived notions based on their posts here.

I've been pleasantly surprised occasionally after someone has pointed out an online 'enemy' and I know others have been surprised when I've been pointed out AFTER they got to know me in reality.

I must say I smile when I see those KB tee shirts. I suppose if I could be bothered buying one it'd come complete with a large dartboard or target printed on front and back.

:msn-wink:

[The Pastor]

what the hell is a KR? kool rabbit? killa ray?

[Kendog]

I wouldn't wear a shirt for kr.com (http://www.kr.com/) either.

But this place is fine, I am happy people know I am part of KB.

[idleidolidyll]

what the hell is a KR? kool rabbit? killa ray?

oops, a KB: Kiwi Biker

[Nasty]

I wouldn't wear a shirt for kr.com (http://www.kr.com/) either.

But this place is fine, I am happy people know I am part of KB.

Same here twice for the Grub and myself!

[car]

I don't and I never even ask the identities of the other riders I meet. I don't want to know their aliases, I'm more interested in their names.

I felt exceptionally sad introducing myself to Col as "car" when for some reason I'd introduced myself to Merv as "Chris" five minutes earlier. Although I know people who call each other by their usernames, despite sitting just a desk away.

[merv]

I like to know both names so I can match the personalities up - remembering them though that is another issue.

For me when I tell you my name its merv and Merv which is kinda easy.

[Mom]

My friends know me by name.........be that my alias, or my name. My "real name" is used on here from time to time too.....Meh......I am me! no different in person than on here........so be careful guys....:devil2:

[hXc]

"Hi, I'm hXc, or Zac."

That's my usual answer. What's the point in having a username if you don't tell people what it is for fucks sake?! I go to places where KBers are to meet new KBers and if I can't identify them...no point.

Maybe you're just too ashamed to tell people your username.:dodge:

[Virago]

It is interesting that you speak of "enemies", "dartboards" and "targets".

For most of us it is about Friendship, Cameraderie, and Fellowship.

I guess some of us are here for different reasons...

[R6_kid]

yes, but only once i have confirmed the person i am speaking to is not homophobic.

[BuFfY]

Yeah I always introduce myself as Buffy, tis how people recognise me :)

[imdying]

yes, but only once i have confirmed the person i am speaking to is not homophobic.I gotta ask, why? If they can't deal with you being a fag, then boo hoo for them! :2thumbsup How many homophobes have you actually come across? No wait, how many have met :rofl: I would've thought that the actual number of homophobes vs people that dislike fags but are indifferent to them when it comes to the crunch would've been pretty low?

[Maha]

Im known as Mr Mom......:crybaby:

[James Deuce]

Yes, so people know where the hate comes from.

[idleidolidyll]

I gotta ask, why? If they can't deal with you being a fag, then boo hoo for them! :2thumbsup How many homophobes have you actually come across? No wait, how many have met :rofl: I would've thought that the actual number of homophobes vs people that dislike fags but are indifferent to them when it comes to the crunch would've been pretty low?

I'm a lesbian prostitute, does that make me a better person?

[imdying]

I'm a lesbian prostitute, does that make me a better person?Bahahaha, better than what? :lol: You make good money?

[FROSTY]

me I is who I is ---everybody in life every part of my life knows me as frosty

[idleidolidyll]

Bahahaha, better than what? :lol: You make good money?

bring your wife or girlfriend around and we'll discuss it

[ynot slow]

Most would be like myself,go on a ride via kb,when meeting usually say i'm bruce alias xyz,or else once introduced go by proper name.

[imdying]

bring your wife or girlfriend around and we'll discuss itHmmm, you provide the camera or I do I bring my own?

[Grub]

Hell yes ... I've got nothing to hide or be ashamed of ..... have I?

[Nasty]

Hell yes ... I've got nothing to hide or be ashamed of ..... have I?

Grub by nature love :)

[yungatart]

I introduce myself as Yungatart, real name, Janet. Makes no difference, they all still call me "tart" anyway!

[enigma51]

Im am me asshole online asshole in real life

[deanohit]

Think mine is pretty easy,






or boring, normally just say I'm deano hit from KBer, Deano for short.

[riffer]

Most people know me as Simon, as riffer is only used on KB. Doesn't worry me either way. The bike has RIFFER in white letters on the windscreen so you can recognise it tomorrow


(someone will probably knock it over and scrawl anti-mod writing on it with spray paint now...)

[BIGBOSSMAN]

I introduce myself usually as Bigbossman, Bossman, Big (if ya know what I mean).
Then once people get to know me they use names for me such as, wank, prick, cock, egotist etc.
:niceone:

[MSTRS]

I always intro as MSTRS first, then John. Most people want to know what the hell MSTRS means???

[Skyryder]

I useally go with the forum name then my real name. My foram name is for the forums and my real name is for the rides. Like who in their right mind would answer to Skyryder.............??:argh:

Skyryder

[Hitcher]

Sometimes, if I remember. Old age is funny like that.

[RC1]

usually rob until kb name is asked then either

[DMNTD]

Usually introduce myself as Chris...then my log on name. Prefer for people to call me Chris when in person as I do log off :yes:





I suppose if I could be bothered buying one it'd come complete with a large dartboard or target printed on front and back.
Good friends stab you in the front mate :yes:



Im am me asshole online asshole in real life

:scooter:

[skidMark]

before saying who i am...i ask who they are...then recall what have i said.....then decide could i take them in a fight, if they try to kill me...

nah total pisstake...

i don't give a fuck ...if they ask i tell them...not something i bring up though...

[gijoe1313]

I think ninjas need to keep their name concealed, since it is their word of power and to stop other enemy ninjas from using it against them... :eek5:

I've had KBers come up and say "you must be gijoe1313" and I dunno how they know that! :innocent: I mean, really I wear ninja molten red camo gear! How could they possibly see me?

Bad enough using my real moniker, get all the jokes .... "I bet you say that to all the girls", "Just in time eh?" , "Just in case..." etc. etc. :rolleyes: :lol:

All good, I like bikers, they are an anarchic bunch of rapscallions, ne'er do wells, scallywags, Johnny-be-rotten, Blaggards and other such lowlife ilk! :2thumbsup

I still remember when the Southside crew rode up north and IdleIdolIdyll did the big "Herro! Here I am!" speech :rofl:

All good! :Pokey:

[Disco Dan]

I dont even have to finish saying "disco" and the persons expression changes... ahhhhh.... :buggerd:

[TerminalAddict]

real name for real life ... altho I've been guilty of calling people by the forums names (errr .. waylander :) .. and others ) and some still call me terminal .. .takes a while for me to answer to that tho' while the old brain processes who they might be talking about

[sunhuntin]

ive been sunhuntin online since about 2003. when i went to canada, i got redubbed as kiwi... my partner thought that was my real name for several weeks, lol. [hell, during a domestic over there, i got introed to the cops as sunhuntin, lmfao.] first few months i was simply "sun" and it took a while to readjust.

i have a patch with sunhuntin on it which i wear anywhere i might meet a kber. my canadian leather jacket has kiwi embroidered on it. i will answer to sun, or charley. sometimes i wont answer at all, lmfao. [as found by crashe... lmfao]

i will call people by their usernames more often than not. i introduced a new friend to mum by their username, and got a funny look in return, lmfao. i also mark cell phones by the username. [makes it easier... there might be 10 johns on here, but theres only one each of il4 and mstrs]

[Xile]

mm depends..first say Cecile and sometimes add Xile: as i pronounce it...but as kiwis don't seem to pronounce the same way as me, i say French Girl and seems that people see who i am! lol...i'm less famous than 007XX i must say, but she's more kiwi than I am hehe

[Disco Dan]

mm depends..first say Cecile and sometimes add Xile: as i pronounce it...but as kiwis don't seem to pronounce the same way as me, i say French Girl and seems that people see who i am! lol...i'm less famous than 007XX i must say, but she's more kiwi than I am hehe

whos had more kiwi in them? you or her? :buggerd: :girlfight:

[NotaGoth]

I keep all info to myself. I'm fairly unknown. And I like it like that.

[H00dz]

Oops I didnt know you weren't suppose to use your real name LOL

[Xile]

whos had more kiwi in them? you or her? :buggerd: :girlfight:

:Oi:
I do kiwi no english people so at least no chance for you to be in me..
And she 's got more kiwi as she got a kiwi hubby...
oh and btw, it is very very unsubtle and not classy

[idb]

yes, but only once i have confirmed the person i am speaking to is not homophobic.

I'm not a f*cking homophobic.
Any prick that calls me that is going to get a smack!!!
I hate those homophobics...filthy f*ckers!!!

[Maha]

I know of someone on here rang my wifes work place and asked for Mrs Maha.....:wacko:.....we do love her tho'....:love:

[Mr Merde]

Online I'm Merde.

Face to face I'm Chris.

My online persona is a means of granting me some semblence of anonimity.

It also is a statement.


Meet me in person I am a boring old fart well past his use by date, good for a yarn or two, very opinionated but well past the time where i think that my opinions actually count for anything more than a minor byline.

As Mr Merde and anonymous I can delude myself that just occasionally I can make a difference.




Mr

[Storm]

I get called Storm by everyone I work with and its what I go by on rides:D

[onearmedbandit]

People seem to be able to guess who I am. Must be the leathers.

[98tls]

The frogsnot green TL seems to give it away......:oi-grr:

[Sully60]

I always intro as MSTRS first, then John. Most people want to know what the hell MSTRS means???

I my be wrong but isn't that kinda the point?

[98tls]

:stupid:
I my be wrong but isn't that kinda the point? Agreed......jesus if i did that people would go "yea i know what you ride but whats ya name ya dumb f%ck":girlfight:

[Big Dog]

Calling me by my real name is trying to pick a fight on line or off.
Outside of work I don't encourage that terrible name and loathe the way everyone wants to contract it.

If your a good enough person to want to know me, and the feeling is mutual you may call me Big Dog, Dog or Nash.
But no I don't go out of my way to introduce myself at social things until I have decided who I want to talk to.
Unfortunately the legend preceeds, more often than not I have not even got the helmet off and someone is saying "so, you must be Big Dog". Somewhat entertaining is when they say "Big Dave", "Colapop" et al.
I let some strange dude at the 'Busa's new year party think I was Col because even after correction he kept calling me polarcock. Ah the joys of sobriety at parties lol.

[Sully60]

The frogsnot green

Excuse Me?

Candy Jade Lime Metallic!

Show some respect! (for your own bike)
Anyway back on topic Most people know who I am when they meet me so the username doesn't mean much. Being a relatively new KB'r and a relatively observant chap, I find it interesting to turn up to events and try to pick out the KB'rs before I get introduced. I have had some interesting surprises.

[trump-lady]

Im terrible with names.....tell me what u want I wont remember ur name 5 mins latter.

Ive been getting called trumpy...I kinda like it.....My real name is Tanya NOT Tania, TAN-YA and people never seem to get that right so when Im on my bike trump lady is easier......

Plus when I ride Im kinda like someone else

Tanya deals with poor families their problems and bullshit. Tanya is grown up and responsible. Shes boring

trump-lady likes to ride and not think about anything but the road ahead of her

so call me what u want......just be nice cause theres another ego u dont wanna meet :)

[Big Dog]

Did ya hug him or what ?

No, but the look on his face was priceless when Col walked up to talk to us (free bear hugs dispensed to whole group, although it was Col that got picked up not me).

[Keystone19]

Sometimes I use Keystone but mostly I use Jill. Depends on who is there. Keystone is kind of obscure unless you know the story behind it, but I don't mind what people call me. Bitch seems to be a common one.

For some reason a lot of people seem to know who I am...must be my hair...

[98tls]

No, but the look on his face was priceless when Col walked up to talk to us (free bear hugs dispensed to whole group, although it was Col that got picked up not me). :laugh::niceone:

[sAsLEX]

most should guess my name from the username...... so its either my first or my nick name which I have introduced myself as.... most of the people I went through uni with didn't know my real name as most of my friends use my nick name the whole time.

[Drum]

Damon if your a 'real life' friend. Drum if you're an ' E friend', otherwise call me Ginga. :cool:

[Sanx]

Most just call me 'Sanx'. Doesn't bother me one way or the other whether they use that or my real name. I introduce myself with both, though.

But then, my rego's SANX, website's sanx.org, email address is ...@sanx.org, etc etc

[Sanx]

oh and btw, it is very very unsubtle and not classy

It's an old Lenny Henry joke...

// points to a lady in the audience //
You. Yes you. Have you got any Jamaican in you? ... Do you want some?

[EJK]

I introduce myself like:
"Hey, my KB ID is EJK-Double-D-O-R-et cetra et cetra whatever..... Just call me EJ :D "

P.S. Always smiles before the full stop :yes:

[EJK]

I don't give a fuck ...if they ask i tell them...not something i bring up though...

You don't have to introduce yourself on a ride. They say to you "Oh, you must be skidMark!" :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[skidMark]

I dont even have to finish saying "disco" and the persons expression changes... ahhhhh.... :buggerd:


no...the guys step away slowly backwards and the girls "crab" sideways away from you....

:bleh:

[Mikkel]

Pretty easy for me... I'm not too shy and my first name is my online handle... Mikkel :)

[skidMark]

It's an old Lenny Henry joke...

// points to a lady in the audience //
You. Yes you. Have you got any Jamaican in you? ... Do you want some?


awww cmon nowhere near as good as....the old prime minister way back david longie? correct me if i'm wrong...


"Now if you hold your breath for just one moment i will be more than happy to tell you, i can smell the uranium on it as you lean towards me"

that cracks me up more and more everytime i hear it.:clap:

330 am why the heck cant i sleep....

oh thats right...

well leaving tommorrow ...trackdays not till sunday but hey...

yeeeee hawwwwwwwww

why is it when i can't sleep i get hyper...like what the hell!.

well now that ive made a complete arse of myself ....

as you were....

with a parting picture from our sponser...

[scumdog]

Yep, introduce self as scumdog first, later real name.

Most Kbers still call me 'scumdog' 'scummie' or sometimes just 'dog'

Other KBers - I use whatever they prefer, sometimes I use both their real and site names.

[idleidolidyll]

Usually introduce myself as Chris...then my log on name. Prefer for people to call me Chris when in person as I do log off :yes:





Good friends stab you in the front mate :yes:




:scooter:

well said Chris

you and i have had our moments online too but as in my introduction; without the baggage of preconceived crap from the board, we got on fine in the real world.

i was particularly pleased to see both of our KTM's on that last Coro Loop ride.

[idleidolidyll]

Some of you seem to have misunderstood the introductory post. It's about preconceptions.

Never mind, it doesn't really matter and was just a talking point

[idleidolidyll]

Hmmm, you provide the camera or I do I bring my own?

i'm a photographer

i get to keep the publication rights though

you can bring your boyfriend too

[Cave Cleaner]

Always introduce myself as "Mike" unless asked what my KB handle is.
At work i am known as "Mikey the Bikey" :eek:

[Edbear]

Call me anything, as long as it's not late for dinner...:yes:

[Grahameeboy]

late for breakfast??

I introduce myself as Grahameeboy which is a nickname I was given when I was in UK and my real name is...wait for it, wait for it..........Graham

Some call me Gayboy, Gayhameeboy etc...that is cool, what ever floats there boat...........

[Patch]

I keep all info to myself. I'm fairly unknown. And I like it like that.

Some people know me, some do not. I have met some good friends on here and some I have even worked with (in the past) and not known they were on here. Most are just friends I have not met yet.


I do not see the point of "hiding" or being another persona behind a computer screen. Life is life, you are responsible for your actions whether online or not. You are who you are, some may like it some may not. People change.


It is very sad to see the flaming and negativity that goes on here - (one of the reasons, I don't post a lot) its a shame, I do not see the point in it, it is not constructive nor helps anyone.
Some take it to heart, and others may miss meeting a good person and enjoying their friendship through life.

It is time to be proactive and not reactive. I am proud of who I have become as a person, my log on name is simply that, my name.

People have their reasons for what they do, however, right or wrong it may seem to another individual. A person is defined by what they choose to do with the information presented to them in life.


Life is definately not what it used to be.

[vifferman]

Firstly, I don't usually go on KB rides. Secondly, I'm even more annoying (yet strangely forgettable) in person, and people don't usually even 'see' me, so names don't come into it. Lastly, those that do have some sort of communication with me call me by my given name (if I can remember it....) :confused:

Oh - and Im not really Vifferman anyway. I started on KB as Firestormer, and have also been GoatFood, farQ2, Beelzebub, and on other forums I'm Viffer, VifFerraRi, and enzed_viffer.

[HenryDorsetCase]

I started .... as Beelzebub... .

[sings] Do you have a devil put aside for mee, for meeeee, for meeeeeeee?

[Holy Roller]

If I notice a KB logo then its HI I'm Holy Roller.
Otherwise its just Hi I'm Gordon.

[idleidolidyll]

If I notice a KB logo then its HI I'm Holy Roller.
Otherwise its just Hi I'm Gordon.

My riding friends enjoy razzing others with me, i rarely ask or offer

they like to tell people the "socialist shit stirrer's here"

first time in the north auckland ride pub was hilarious

[skidMark]

worst ive had was a couple talking to me for a good 5 mins then came oh so who are you on the site...i'm skidMark (actually i think i was markauckland back then)

their face changed...they both turned around n walked away

:mellow::gob:

[R6_kid]

I gotta ask, why? If they can't deal with you being a fag, then boo hoo for them! :2thumbsup How many homophobes have you actually come across? No wait, how many have met :rofl: I would've thought that the actual number of homophobes vs people that dislike fags but are indifferent to them when it comes to the crunch would've been pretty low?

i was meaning it in reference to my other nickname "arse-sex kid"... apparently its hilarious, but no, im not gay.

[Colapop]

I .... um.... have a presence that precedes me... :hug:

[Mr Skid]

Im am me asshole online asshole in real lifeMy spelling is better in person.

[NotaGoth]

worst ive had was a couple talking to me for a good 5 mins then came oh so who are you on the site...i'm skidMark (actually i think i was markauckland back then)

their face changed...they both turned around n walked away

:mellow::gob:

I picked you as being Mark instantly... lol

[fireball]

i introduce myself as Kat when meeting other KBrs but the question are you fireball is very quickly asked

must be my smile.....

but either way i am who i am, fireball or kat just as long as you dont call me by my real name....

[oldrider]

I really enjoy meeting up with KB'rs in real life, kinda special people to me.

Haven't met anyone I wish I hadn't yet!

I enjoy the diversity of characters.

I am surprised how many KB members there are but also how many more bikers out there who are not KBr's . :confused:

Spot you some day, some where. :yes: John.

[Daffyd]

I normally introduce myself by name, ask if they are KBers and if they are, give my online name.

[Lissa]

If I am on KB rides I give my name as Lissa then my real name Melissa or Mel, I am quite happy to be called any of those. But sometimes I get called Lisa.... then I smack them!

[MidnightMike]

The whole MidnightMike thing makes it kinda easy eh.

[oldrider]

worst ive had was a couple talking to me for a good 5 mins then came oh so who are you on the site...i'm skidMark (actually i think i was markauckland back then)

their face changed...they both turned around n walked away

:mellow::gob:

"they both turned around n walked away" Well, you were the lucky one! (IMHO).

You do seem a little different (not nessessarily a bad thing) but I look forward to meeting you some day. :yes: Cheers John.

[imdying]

i was meaning it in reference to my other nickname "arse-sex kid"... apparently its hilarious, but no, im not gay.Aaah, in that case, carry on then! :beer:

[klingon]

but either way i am who i am, fireball or kat just as long as you dont call me by my real name....

Katherine?
Katrina?
Kathleen?
Kathy?
Kate?

It's just too tempting...

[Patrick]

I'm a crafty bugger. On here I am Patrick, but in the real world, I am Patrick... I keep the two worlds apart. Who would know....

[Pancakes]

I introduce myself as Pancakes. I never remember peoples names anyway let alone two of them and I pretty much say on here what I'd say to peoples face so I don't mind that they link the two up. Can see why people would want to have a fresh start tho! some of the crap that's posted up!

Thursday night after the ATNR I said "Pancakes" and got an "ooooh!, Your Pancakes!" which made me wonder which post/posts they were thinking of!!

People normally are way different to what I imagine they'd look like.

[Toaster]

Toaster has been my nickname for years so I am very used to introducing myself that way.

[Toaster]

I'm a crafty bugger. On here I am Patrick, but in the real world, I am Patrick... I keep the two worlds apart. Who would know....

Don't confuse me.

[Bullitt]

Over years of being on various forums Ive gotten used to being introduced as Bullitt however when Im doing it Ill usually use real name.

Though on KB ive found more people seem to recognise my Jazz Jackrabbit avitar than anything else, hence why I wrote Rabbit beside it, was never my intention.

I like knowing peoples user name so I can match them up with their online persona, however id normally talk to them as their real name unless they prefered the nic.

[Trudes]

I usually just say that I'm Mrs Kendog to KBers, and get the same thing as Pancakes, "Oh YOU'RE Mrs Kendog", and I think, oh crap, what have they read? And then I usually get, "I thought you'd be older"..... than what exactly?:shit:

[NighthawkNZ]

I'm a lesbian prostitute, does that make me a better person?

I'm a lesbian stuck in a male body.... :doh:

I have been know as nighthawk for years... my old man you use to call me a little nighthawk as I would never go to bed... as a CBer years ago my call sign was NA-717 Nighthawk. Most places on the net I am known as Nighthawk including most of my music sites I am involved with and if the name is taken as it was on KB i usually and NZ (and the bastard has made fracking only 13 posts is a 18 months... bugger :(

When I introduce myself, 9 times out of 10, I will say what name I want to be know by first as what you are first introduced as, people will remember. I had a friend whos nick name was Swing and I was introduced to by that name... I flatted with him for 5 years before I found out his real name... :doh:

I am pretty much like what I am like in real life as I am on the forums... I ain't got nothing to hide, and give out Piss takes as fast as I get them...

Hi my name is Dale, also known as Nighthawk...

[Bullitt]

I had a friend whos nick name was Swing and I was introduced to by that name... I flatted with him for 5 years before I found out his real name... :doh:


Didnt he ever get any mail?:whistle:

[jigyjig]

I have far to many alter ego alias accounts that I can't remember the names, also my haircut and stunning good looks need no name,

the orignal, unmolested login was my name, not something gay, say qkkid, why not use your real name, being neither quick nor a kid? what are you hiding from? yes custard was gay....

[NighthawkNZ]

Didnt he ever get any mail?:whistle:

I have no idea... :doh:

[xgnr]

Ah yes

BTW its "Ex Gunner" you had to be in the club to know it eh..."Ubique"

Nice to meet a bunch of you at a (not so nice occasion) recently.

Cheers

Stu

[Richard Mc F]

on line in person the same.............getting old and easy to confuse

[Mr Merde]

Ah yes

..."Ubique"

Now now... many a baggies bar fight started over that little one .... and its bullshit I might add...

:calm:

[phaedrus]

for me, either name is equally valid. Actually, i find it a little odd that people consider a name given to them by someone else more real than one they picked out for them self.

[Wolf]

"Oh YOU'RE Mrs Kendog", and I think, oh crap, what have they read? And then I usually get, "I thought you'd be older"..... than what exactly?:shit:
I bloody told ya in the photo thread, you make too much sense and "sound" too mature in your posts!

I give both names, Wolf and Jon. I've been known on sight as "Wolf" by so many for so long (outside the KB community) and I've never seen the point in hiding my legal name (or my bike's registration number). For me, the nickname is to make us uniquely named on the site (the popularity of "John", "Mark" and other Biblical names being a major factor), not to hide behind.

And fuck all use trying to hide anyway as my bike and helmet have wolf decals (courtesy of MSTRS) and, unless I'm wearing trackpants or togs, I invariably wear a belt with a wolf-themed pewter buckle (I have 5 to choose from).

As to carrying baggage from the site, I don't prejudge people based on what they've posted here or whether or not we've had run-ins on the forums and I don't care if people are going to prejudge me based on my posts.

My main thing upon meeting KBers is how little they look like I imagined.

Waylander was slimmer, Ixion was younger and heavier, Bonez was a lot hairier...

Haven't yet met anyone and looked at them and said "you've just gotta be..."

[Finn]

At my first KB meet, some beefcake came up to me and asked if I was Finn. I said that I wasn't and pointed to Skidmark who proceeded to get a beating.

HA HA!!!

[White trash]

Haven't yet met anyone and looked at them and said "you've just gotta be..."

That's coz you aint met me yet!

for me, either name is equally valid. Actually, i find it a little odd that people consider a name given to them by someone else more real than one they picked out for them self.
Heh, hence I used the term "legal name" - I couldn't bring myself to call it my "real" name.

"Jon" (or "John") means "God is Gracious" - Helluva name for a pagan.

It was given to me as my father's parents were pushing for me to be named "Jack" and that was the closest my mum was prepared to get. Not a bad name (once I used Deed Poll to change it from the more common "John" to "Jon" which at least looks a little different) but prone to cause confusion in some areas when you have more than three people of that name. (One of my college classes fortunately only had three of us so it was only mildly confusing)

"Wolf", however, is a lot more appropriate. Probably a lot more "real" than my legal name.

I've also answered to a lot of other nicknames - both self-selected and bestowed-upon me - over the years with various groups of friends/co-workers.

That's coz you aint met me yet!
Yeah, but it wouldn't be quite as funny now because I've seen pics of you and would probably recognise you.

No way I'm telling anyone my real name !

[scumdog]

NOBODY knows the 'real' me - scumdog is the best description guess..

[Xaria]

I am pretty much like what I am like in real life as I am on the forums... I ain't got nothing to hide, and give out Piss takes as fast as I get them...

Hi my name is Dale, also known as Nighthawk...

Sounds very true. He does bring in the mail, but he only looks for his own name. Unless he thinks I like being known as "the occupant"

I have been Xaria online for over 10 years now, so I answer to it equally. If I have chatted to someone frequently, I have trouble remembering their "real" name and refer to their online name.

why not dave????... gee wounder what it is :scratch:

[ManDownUnder]

Mandownunder, Nigel, Niggle, Nidge, Nignog, Nigger, Nigga

I think that's all of them. I'm not too worried. Nigel's arguably a bugger of a name but I don't care - this is me - like it or fuck off (ooooOOOooo all brave online huh?)

Then there's the cheesel Ad ("it's worth a crack Nigel... Nigel?"), and the ever famous "We're only making plans for Nigel"

Meh. If people are surprised at who someone is based on their behaviour online vs real life - then I ask the question - why is there a difference? That's something I don;t understand. Those that know me well would probably expect 99% of what I say on here to be consistance with what I'd say/be in real life... well I hope they would!

Closest I came to it was looking at a BMW then looking in utter surprise at the rider and saying "you must be Ixion." I'd seen him a little while earlier and had no idea who he was - it was the bike that was the give-away.
