Does your online name affect you in real life?

One year four months and twenty three days ago my friend from online sent me a baseball styled t-shirt that says Llama on the back of it.... after wearing it to school a few times people at school asked me about it... and eventually a lot of the school started calling me Llama.

Llama is a nickname that people around town call me just as much as they use my real name... and now... my dad put some custom license plates on my truck..

Am I the only weird person?... Or does your online name effect you in real life?

The only way it affects me is like.. If someone is like.. DOOD THE HALO 3 LEGENDARY EDITION IZ TEH SHIZ

I might turn my head and look over or something >_> but thats about it.. Especially sense it's my name on Xbox Live.. Everybody says it so I get used to listening to that person who says my name.

Only friends who also play Halo call me MNC, and that's sometimes.

Some of my gamer friends call me bibbit or sometimes bib at church, and with other people around, they turn and they're like "wth?"

My name doesn't affect my real life at all.

I've been called Geo from the day I was born. I'm George really, but I guess it just got abbreviated straight away.

Nobody has ever called me iGeo though.

My online alias was originally killer71284, which i made from Lego.com 6 years back. it then changed to killer712841, then Aristat, then XiionTg, XiionTgx, XiionTgxX, and now it is Xiion.

the name Xiion came from my mental issue of having Split personalities, which was fixed through lots of pills. i then later wrote a book called "The Dark Shadows" featuring Xiion as the main Character. before i Had Xiion, Aristat was in use. it did NOT come from Aristotle, i didnt even know who that was back then. me and a friend of mine made a book, i can't seem to remember the name of it. but my brothers friend likes to call me WindStat because the name is pronounced "Air-Ih-Stat."

The TG stands for The Great, because in my book, Xiion was the ruler of Planet X after being sent to earth with his brother Tiensu (Tee-EN-Sue). After which, i just used the name as an alias on the internet, and someday, i hope to change my name to Xiion, Legally of course. Pronounced as so: Ex-See-On.
it's not Zion, like how you'd pronounce it in China Land... it's my own way of spelling, it's unique, it's of a different nature, and it represents me.

I hope to either name one of my kids Xiion, or have my name changed to that. people call me by Xiion at school alot, so it just catches on to me.

I always though you name was pronounced Zion.

only one person i know has pronounced it right without me telling them how to pronounce it.

I was guessing either that or Zee-on.
