When you get chatting to someone, do you share your real first name?
Do you use an initial or an alias? Or does it depend on the person?
Have you ever forgotten to even give out your name?
I’ve been chatting to someone on and off for the last 6 months or so, and tonight we both realised we didn’t know each others names   |

For some reason i thought it was a good idea for my username to be my name, year of birth and where i live, for good or bad it makes conversations 3 questions shorter, i have thought about changing to something wittier but then theres the issue of getting verified again which is even harder nowadays |

You can change your user name anytime. Think it’s up to 4 times a year. Doesn’t affect your fab profile/veris x |

I don't share my real name until we're meeting or I'm very confident in the individual. My first name is pretty unusual so easy to identify me. If anyone found out my surname, then I believe I'm the only person in the world with that name, so..... S has a bog standard first name but his surname is extremely unusual. |

Yes we are similar, both our real names are quite unique so we don’t share until we meet |

Names don't matter to me. My real name's on my profile if anyone cares to look. I'm crap with names anyway so I'm not the type to call out a guy's name in the throes of passion |

However, I have shared one of my weird middle names with the forum.... "
I must have missed that.
Do tell  |

"I always give my real first name to people I'm meeting...only 3 people on here know my surname though.
A surprisingly high number of people think that Lily White is my actual name "

I often just forget unless they introduce themselves specifically.
I've been mid sex and stopped to ask their name before One made me guess because I apparently knew at some point. I got it wrong. It's not like he was gonna up and leave though is it |

My name's so common for people my age that I use it on here without having to worry. I don't ever give my last name though unless I've met someone a few times and consider them a friend - I don't even have my last name on my Facebook. |

"Those I've chatted to for a while get my real first name - those I'm meeting get my real full name so they can log it for their own security if they feel they need to"
But your real full name could be a fake real full name...

We use our initials

I wouldn't tell anyone my name unless we were meeting after chatting for a while.
It's very unusual and if you search it on Google it brings up too much personal information and links to my Instagram, Twitter and blogs, articles from when I was in the paper (not a murderer I promise ) and location so nope, unless I completely trust you, you're never going to know. |

"Only the odd one or 2 know my name but I'm guessing it's long forgotten.
I won’t forget Bernard.
I didn't think you would Avril
I know, as soon as I clicked post I thought what a knob. It is random though.
Avril?!! Jesus...  "
