I've met a couple of people who to start with told me a different first name - say Nick* and then after a few meets - said actually my name is Simon*. But then I can't seem to get their real name into my head so to me they're always Nick*.
Anyone else get confused! Or is it just me.
* those names I totally made up - well as far as I know! |

If someone tells me their name is different than what I've been calling them for a while then I find it really difficult to change it so don't bother
Have a name and keep it |

Yep!
My original fab name was Paula all Alone. Even though I deleted that profile over a year ago - about half the people on the north west club/party scene still call me Paula!
Doesn't bother me at all though! I answer to Paula, peachy, and my real name!  |

I prefer to use real names where I can in private with them once I know it.
There's aways the risk you'll accidently call them their real name in public so I try to avoid names as much as possible on the forums if I can.
I like my profike name, Dan, as its a million miles removed from me real name (Zebeddee) |

Someone may revive it.
I had a fair part of life with complexity, so I keep it simple, just Sophie works. And our cat lady, who wasn't Diamond for a while, threw me, as I had 3 names and a birthday to remember. It was a bit much for my head.
It's strange, they're just words, labels, but we connect to them with the person. |

My name isn't a common name so I don't have it on here, but those who I know well know my real name but they still call me Kimi... I think I actually get called my fab name more than my real name. But my middle name is Kim |

This is why I accept people I meet online calling me Ads but others who aren't family or close friends call me Adam (mostly cause my mum hates names being shortened) |

I don't mind people calling me my Fab name if I'm on Fab. If I meet them in real life or if I've known them a long time through Fab I'd rather they called me my real name. I'm just so not a Howard!  |

Easy with me...profile name is my real name. Sometimes folk don't believe me as it doesn't fit my face or think it's a take on chris toss or some such thing but no...it's my name |

People who've met me know my real name. T is a bit misleading as it's the initial of a short version of my name which doesn't involve the first syllable so I think people get a bit confuzzled!
Reading this though I want to know everyone's real names goshdarnit! |

I still get called "nobby" by people who know me from my old profile.
Some call me Vimes.
Real friends sometimes call me by my real name...
Don't really care what people call me as long as it isn't (a) rude or (b) too early. |

I get a little confused at times what to call people when I've stored their user name ie James1234 (I seem to know a lot of 'James!!) in kik and they're real name is Bob.
I tell the people I meet with my real name but am happy to be called by user name too.

I've used a variety of names on various sites over more than 15 years so I answer to a lot of names!
Some people, even though they know my real name, call me TK, Velvet or one of any number of other things.
Even now I have several 'active' usernames.
I had a friend in my 'phone as "Sexynix" for more than 10 years, even though I knew her well and knew her real name! |

Early on in my time on Planet Fab I got chatting with an unbelievably yummy chap and finally braved meeting him for a drink (first Fab meet). Somehow in the back and forth messages, I had totally forgotten his name (I know, bad admin). I was a bit worried as to how I would handle the whole "what's your name again honey?" question. Fortunately the very first thing he said after the hello kiss was "I have to tell you, my name's not really X its Y". Phew! I didn't confess that I'd totally failed to recall the made up name he introduced himself as. |

When introduced to new people off fab, I always forget their real names and revert back to their fab names(passing it off a coy joke).
T
p.s. Tom isn't my real name and I get confused with that sometimes!  |

We did have different names on a previous profile, but since setting this new profile up, we decided to be us, found it weird signing messages with a strange name, and meeting people calling ourselves different names.
I guess the deeper we get into this lifestyle the more normal we find it. I don't believe we are doing anything wrong and also believe more people in today's age do it more than others may think. With all these house parties and dinner parties I think particularly women are more curious than ever |

We have met plenty of people that start off with one name... Then tell us the real name and I never really can associate the other name with them... Not that I'm good with names anyway.
I always introduce myself as Cali... And its me that much I actually find myself not responding to My real name half the time.

Usually sign my emails with my obviously fake fab name.
I forgot my actual name is on my profile and freaked out when I received an email using my actual name. I thought it must be someone I know in the real world, and couldn't work out who. (it was early in the morning when I read it) |
