You Asian people and all your "My real name is too hard for stupid caucasians to say. So just call me Jimmy" nonsense. I'm pretty sure I would just tell people my real name, they'd get it eventually.

Really now Geo you can't possibly expect others to be as international and sophistiqué as you! I am pretty sure if I kept punching a tree, it would bend eventually too. But for some reason I am reluctant to do it, call me lazy.

I think I'm excused from butchering Asian names only slightly less than most Americans because none of them even know where to freaking start with mine.

Kayin's sister just calls me "Asian".
To be honest though, Alex Lee is kind of a generic name, and none of you white people can pronounce my real name so I guess Aintaer it is.

It's probably worth noting that my friend and I couldn't agree on how to pronounce Aintaer when we met up awhile back either.

Anyway, no one calls me Mars in real life but I probably wouldn't mind if they did. I don't really like my real name that much. MarsDragon is kind of a silly name, but I've had it forever now and couldn't think of changing it. Honestly I don't identify with either name as really "me", but that's more of a factor of my ongoing identity issues than anything else.

I'm a big hairy bearish man. Though sometimes I fear it will be confused with a furry thing or that gay biker thing. :(

A special award to WFE for managing to avoid using the phrase "acrobatic fucking pirouette" at any point during this topic.

Wait, I just did.

I just did ironically.

...not going to go through 4 pages to see if this has already been broached, but...

Where's the option for "My handle IS my real name, you fucking pussies"?

Considering several momentous decisions taken in these four pages, I'd say the topic has been at least indirectly touched upon. Though it did reinforce the inadequacy of the poll itself, I suppose.

Nay. It's much more general and whiny than that, which is why I usually don't bring it up.

I think I'm a pretty unique case in that my real life nickname got turned into a handle.

Well, unique in that it's one of those nicknames that basically replaces my real name. Even my parents call me Friday. In fact, the only person who doesn't is only doing it to annoy me.
