Does your online name affect you in real life?

Seeing as I'm the god of the underworld, if people just bug me about it, I kill them.

It's pretty simple.

Dude, I can't believe people call me my online name, Paul. It's so obscure! I've been called that since the day of my birth. Wow.

My dad had the name "Killer Joe" online, and so, when I went to get XBL I put down Killer Joe because I knew he wasn't going to join.

Well, it was only a year in the XBL service, and Killer Joe had already been taken. The generator for gamertags spit out: "MetKiller Joe". I like it. It was original, unique, and simple.

From that day, I have used MetKiller Joe as my username everywhere.

My real name isn't Joe. Its Mark

Metkillerjoe. I always thought you name meant Meatie Killer Joe. Was probably because of the sig.

My friend, a couple of years ago, started calling me Thomas The Bear. We thought it was funny because my name was Thomas and stuff. And now everyone just calls me Bear.

Crazy? :p

Thanks, I don't know how, but I'm known as Grunt or G R by a few people. They call me that more then my real name... just kinda happened after I made my live account, had a thing for the whole idea of a grunt rebellion in halo.

Mine does not effect my real name at all. In fact, I just chose this crappy username because I was in fourth grade and not very original. Same goes for most of the other forums I belong too.

I'm worse. I copied, and then was PROVIED a derivative from the copied username.

I go by "Pep' or "Foolish". Foolish more often then not. Real name is Shawn thoe. The name for email, xfire.. ect if usually "foolishlunitik" meaning "a foolish lunatic" . I got the name foolish for how I drive. The name "Pepsi" derived from me drinking alot of sprite. I like sprite but wasnt going to go by sprite cause it seemed to "girly" for me so i picked Pepsi instead.

So either "Foolish" or "Pepsi" is what i go by. Yes some people IRL call me both but thats cause they know me from online too.
