What should we call you?

[Liesje]

This is not quite a "what is your name" thread b/c some people refuse to post their name or don't like their name or whatever. I don't know the names of the newbies and I always feel like a freak going hey U2democrat or starsgoblue (not to single you guys out!). Post what you'd prefer to be called on this forum.

My name is Lies and I am usually called Liv by posters here and on other boards. Call me either.

 

[bonosloveslave]

BLS or Beth are pretty easy!

Hi Lies

 

[BluRmGrl]

Hello Liv - my actual name is Lisa , but "Blu" is fine for here.

 

[Souly]

I shortened mine from soulnation2002 to Souly for that reason.

How did I not know this?

 

[arw]

ARW or Amanda. I HATE when someone calls me arw9797. It makes me feel like a kid when I did something wrong and my parents would call me by my full name. I just sort of like to ignore that silly number at the end of my name...

 

[Souly]

How did I not know this?

I'm a quiet one.

 

[u2bonogirl]

Im tara for those who dont know that.
but you can call me bonogirl if you want.
Its not like I dont get called it all the time at home anyway

 

[neutral]

Jami, and this is a good idea, I feel the same way about "hey username" or whatever.


Lies how is your named pronounced?

 

[bonosloveslave]

^^Lies = 'lease'

 

[u2bonogirl]

thats a cool name
lies- lease
ummm is that YOU in your avatar?

 

[Liesje]

yeah!....no, Carly Patterson. I can't even lie b/c you only get to wear that leo if you're on the national team, and obviously I'm not.

 

[Queen Bee]

Barbara (Come to think of it, I don't think anyone's ever called me by my first name here. ), please! I hate when people call me 'Queen' or 'QB.' But then again, I'm also not fond of my first name.

Great thread.

 

[TheWho4Life]

You can call me Lindsay or Linds... or just Who4Life or Who lol, but if you call me Who make sure you capitalize the "W"

 

[hippy]

my real name is Kim


but people around here call me hippy


Even when I meet them in real life .... ask Kristie

 

[U2Kitten]

Sorry for calling you QB Queen Bee, I never knew your real name

I don't mind being called U2Kitten, or U2K, and I like my nickname of "Kitty" too. Michelle is also okay!

 

[greety]

I know I called Barbara QB but that was because i didn't know if she'd like her real name to be used, so sorry about that Barbara (=also much longer than QB )

My name is Greta or Greet so I don't mind when ppl call me Greety.

 

[verte76]

I'm Patricia.

 

[shy]

I'm Patricia , too.
Shy is a little bit of my surname, you can pronouce She. I'm not shy or ashamed

 

[nanavancouver]

I'm Patricia , too.
Shy is a little bit of my surname, you can pronouce She. I'm not shy or ashamed

Since I'm Patricia too I think I'll stick to my username.

 

[tiny dancer]

Maggie here.

 

[Bonochick]

If you wanna call me Bonochick, that's fine. People tend to call me BC for short...or Kat, since my real name is Katherine. One person here calls me Katie (which is what my family and friends back home call me), but that's because she just has to be special!

 

[BAW]

You can call me Char or BAW, I'm fine with either one

 

[U2democrat]

U2dem or Laura. I'm REALLY bad with names so i'll probably just use y'alls usernames

 

[biff]

I hate my real name (there are only a couple of people here who know what it is, and let's keep it that way! ), so Biff is just fine. If you're in a friendly mood, you can call me Biffers.

 

[Merc]

You can call me 'Merc' or Dorthe - you decide!

Just don't start to call me Dorothy or shorten my real name into 'Dot' - I have bad memories of that name!


... and for the English speaking PLEBAns (which there is quite a few of here! ) you pronounce Dorthe like this:

Dorthe ~ [Door-deux] - It sounds like a 'door' in English and the number two ('deux') in French put together!

Very 'exotic' as someone here called it!

 

[Queen Bee]

Sorry for calling you QB Queen Bee, I never knew your real name

I know I called Barbara QB but that was because i didn't know if she'd like her real name to be used, so sorry about that Barbara (=also much longer than QB )

I actually don't mind QB too much, now that I think about it. It's "Queen" or "Queenie" that make me go crazy.

I knew that!

And I am english-speaking Pleban....

Not my first langugage though...

QB is a little creepy since it gets me thinking Quarterback...

 

[Queen Bee]

I never thought about it that way! Whenever I see QB it makes me think of some sort of mystic brand of barbeque sauce.
