Names

Let's start the week with something a little off color.

I've been thinking about this subject for a couple months now. It started one day when I was out walking I think and just letting my mind wander. While it was wandering it settled for a bit on some of the people here.

What I was thinking about and exactly who aren't important for this post. But this was the first time that I'd noticed that I was thinking of them, not as their VisionPersonals.com screen name. But as their given real life name. This was after the Vegas trip. But thinking back on it I realized that there are some people that I had been thinking of by their given names even before that.

Why am I writing about this today? Well I was typing a reply to someones post and caught myself typing in their given name instead of their screen name.

So I was wondering how log does it usually take before you start thinking of someone by their real name rather then screen name? Or besides them telling you what their real name is what needs to happen? For those of you that know my real name. When/if I come to mind, do you think of me as HornyguyMN or as my real name?

 I know you as horny. When I comment I usually refer to their handle until I know their real name (which comes from private contact) then I refer to their first initial.

That's interesting that you refer to a persons first initial after learning their name. But then you are an original.

 I think of you as your real name

For me it's usually like this: if they have a screen name with an actual given name in it, it's much harder for me to think of them by their real name. So like Molly and Sasha, for instance. If they go by a screen name that doesn't have a real name in it, it's easier.

It took me a LONG time to think of Molly as her real name!

I don't mind being thought of as Lulu but LadyUnlaced just seems way too formal

I think about you as your real name too. And I have been since before the Vegas trip I think. Although until the Vegas trip it would slip between your real and screen names. At some point during I started thinking of you just as your real name.

I think it's going to take a long time for me to start thinking about Molly by her real name too. Probably because she has an actual name in her screen name.

 I use profile names, code names, or personal nicknames for everyone I meet from here in person. I have a hard time transitioning my mind over to using a real name.

Of course, this keeps me from blurting out their name in an inopportune place.

I don't know your name, so I think of you as hornymn. When we meet, I will probably continue to think of you that way, or give you another name that works for me.

Funny you should mention nicknames. Because I'm thinking about doing a separate post for them. If I got the chance to meet you I think I would start thinking of you as your real name fairly quick.

 Well, from the beginning I never thought of you as HornyGuyMN. Horny Guy sounds like some perv in a trenchcoat hanging around in parks waiting to flash someone. An image that didn't fit with your sweet smile on your profile. So I always considered you to be Minnesota & I dropped the first part.

Then once we started chatting & exchanged names it didn't take long for you to become your real name to me. Although I do think of you more by your formal name than the shortened version. Now I have to really catch myself when responding to you here to not use real names.

The hardest has been in writing my blogs to use Audio for myself. I wasn't having trouble using Mack's nickname until I started talking to you about him offsite. Now his name transposes back & forth, too. I have to proofread all my posts good before submitting them.

I know you never did care for my screen name. So I didn't think it had taken you long at all to start thinking of me by something other then my handle.

It didn't take me long after we started chatting off site to stop thinking of you as Audio. But I started thinking of you as "Red" rather then your real name. But then nicknames are a whole other post that I'll do one of these days.

 I only think of people by the names on here.

Well that would eliminate to problem of possibly using the wrong name.

 I am horrible with names so I will use whichever name I refer to you by the most. Funny thing about that though .... I chose the name Sugar because so many people throughout my life have called me that. Lots of those I know from here still call me Sugar long after they know my real name.

Well your actually the person I almost put your real name in the post. Oopsy.

But to be honest I think I think of you as "Princess" about as often as I do your real name. I really never think of you as Sugar anymore. And I really haven't since I started calling you Princess.

That's because my real name is soooo cool Princess works for me. There are a handful of people that call me that ... and not one of them is my daddy

Your real name is cool. I've actually never met anyone else with it. But then most people haven't met anyone with my full first name either.

And here I thought I was an original calling you Princess. But at least I don't get lumped in with your Daddy. That would be creepy considering how often I make attempts at flirtation.

Very interesting Vixn. Most people seem to go for one or the other.
