Would you call someone by their Neowin name?


Recommended Posts

if it's a distinctive, short name like neobond, probably, but if it was a name like mine, definitely not. its hard enough over vent in scrims, usually just call me pox or poxy :p try pronouncing it - it's 4 syllables :s

Even my parents call me by my neowin name, its that well known - they don't use the 500 part tho. I would never call anyone by their neowin name, normally people say "oh my name is" after a few mins if you meet them online - I find it strange when people call each other by net names.

I have some people in real life that call me by my screen name. Mostly just joking around, although I honestly don't think a few people know my real name.

Sure I would. I've talked to a few people in the UK before, and called them there internet nickname :p. I would however be embarassed if I said w00t or some other internet slang words on the phone or while talking to someone close :p.

It's a strictly online handle only, but occasionally someone who knows it might call me luna.

My real nickname is Pursey, but hey that's a whole other story.

If I meet someone IRL or chat to them on msn, I usually ask them what they prefer.

Sometimes people call me Ramble. Sometimes i call people by their nicks.

Although, generally it's real names.

Online is obviously a different matter, as i'm known as Ramble everywhere, everyone calls me it.

I have a friend who's nickname is 'Dic', everyone calls him it, and i mean everyone.

well, considering that John is the equivalent (or translation) of my name, and that it's a nickname that has been given to me about nine years ago, i only know five, maybe six people that call me by my real name (usually my first name, but sometimes they call me by my last name)..

also, considering how common John is as a name or nickname, almost everybody i know starts calling me John within the first 5 minutes..

I would call someone by their nick, if they want me to and if it's not a ridiculous or unreadable one..

I'm Known as hotdog on Public forums like this. But all my friends call me Al or Alex.

I would call someone by their username if I didn't know their real name. If I knew it, I'd call them by it.

I used to work in a large internet caf? a few years ago where i was lord of the games (the fe times i got beaten i always redeemed myself), everyone called me by my nick, including the people i worked with (most of whom i was good friends with anyway) and my boss (who was/is an asshat), and i called them by theirs. This was even after we got to know each others real names. My gaming nick is Kudos and my real name is Jonathan, which normally gets shortened to Jon.
