My full legal name is Alexander. But I normally prefer just being called Alec. Although a few of my friends have given me special nicknames including Aruk-kun. (Although I prefer Alec-kun for that term)

My username used to be kaemmerite, but I soon became disillusioned with it. I have been called Nate practically all my life, and even when in the chat I told people to call me by my name. I love my name too much to give it up, and the final straw came in a thread about snow. Doubleshadow called me "kaemmerite," and it literally took about a minute and a half before it sank into my head, "Oh, she's talking to me."

At that point, I decided I was tired of hiding behind a pseudonym (not literally, I've never met uc in real life) and changed my username to my real name, as most people call me Nate anyway (I much prefer it).

It didn't help that 90% of people misspelled my username, no one knew how to pronounce it, and I was called "Kermit" on more than one occasion.

I've been around for a while, so a lot of CAA members probably know my real name. But I was the kid who always had a nickname in school, so anything really goes for me. :B Kelly, KoDai, Debitt, Debs, doesn't really matter.

Hehe Kermit... Out of curiosity, what is the correct pronunciation? I always just thought of it as "Kai-mayor-ite" (as phonetic as I can get it :/) but then again, I always seem to pronounce things wrong in the end^^ Also out of curiosity, was it supposed to be a Sailor Moonish name? Knowing you're a fellow fan, always thought of it as a Four Holy Soldierish name^^

With my own name, it's actually the name of the novel I was working on for a while there^^ Although I don't use it as any form of alias anymore (best name I could think of as a user name at the time I think). I don't mind my actual name being used, although I have my fellow twin on here :P People call me TAi among other things, my email and so forth is Curler, a long used nickname. My other alias in user names also include Karura and Sheleigha, but moreso for MMOs and other accountish names^^

Soo whatever works for me^^ I won't even get into my other OTHER aliases that my parents have nicknamed me years back :/

I prefer to be address by my full name and title:

His Imperial Majesty, Kalvin Ignatius Graphic, Dark Lord of the Undead, Emperor and Commander of the Armies of Obsidian, 吸血鬼王 (vampire king), Duke of the Green Rose, Warlord of the Western Realm, and sole existing Space Vampire.

Or you can call me Kali.

Well, More often than not, people call me either Khaki or Josh. I prefer either, but I would rather not be called KBS...I have enough acronyms at work!

I'll go by pretty much anything. Ethan, SnoringFrog, SF, Frog, Froggy, etc. or just whatever someone decides to call me. What I want to get people to do is call me by my screename or some derivative of it IRL. So far only one person's done it that I can recall. I've considered jstu introducing myself as SnoringFrog and leaving my real name out of it.

Either Johnnie or Bigsleep, or even Biggie. But I prefer my first one. :)

I prefer K-chan or Ayato when folks don't know my name. Once they do, Carla is just fine.

Most people that don't know me or don't know me well just call me "RD", which is fine. The people that know me well enough to know my real name call me Corrie. I generally prefer being called "Corrie" by the people that know me; "RD" by the people that don't. 'Cause I think we all agree that when someone you don't know calls you by your real name, it's a little creepy. XD

It's hard to say sence my nickname is Sparx, But my first nickname was Cable, I was called that cuz' someone didn't get my name the first time. And also, I was a Tec-dude. Then I got called Sparky after I got shocked and took out half the power to my house. Then it got changed to Sparx cuz' it sounded cooler.
So Cable, Sparky, Or Sparx is just fine. (Or CJ is good too if you don't want to type as mutch.)

If you know me, call me Steve. Otherwise, Ark is fine.

If I only think I know you, should I call you stark?

(I prefer Mithrandir, or just Mith; given the general demographic around here, I do not mind a -kun, -san, -sama, or -sense reference. I do, however, reserve the right to kick people out of the chat if they erroneously use the -chan reference. ;) )

Kkun is fine if you don't know me, but people in the chat call me by my name, which is Jamie.

Kokoro Daisuke changed her name? Blast.

If there is a good chance of me recognizing your name, call me Icky (note the capitalization). Otherwise, Icarus.

Yk always works for me, although there are those select elite who know me well enough to refer to me by my real life nickname, which is for me to know and you to find out (that is provided of course that you don't already know it)

Beats the heck out of some of the nicknames some have come up with on this site.

Ha ha, sorry. XD; I was getting more used to being called Debitt/Debs, so I changed my name here.

I've kinda grown not to call people by their actual names online unless I'm very very sure I know it. For a long while, I thought one guy's name was Ben, when I started calling him that, it turned out his name was Darryl. O_o So I like to avoid mishaps like that whenever possible.

See, that's why I tend to just address people as "Puny mortal". It's always worked for me.

Hmm...I'm fine with AB, Blossom, or, if you'd prefer to be formal, AsianBlossom. Tomiko is okay as well.

And Brandy would be just peachy. ^_^

I think my Pokemon trainer's name is confusing people, because some people like putting their real name as their trainer's name. For the record, my name--despite the fact that I called my little trainer in Pearl that--is not Raven. You could call me that if you want, however, realize that there's someone on here who actually has that as a screen name. It'd get too confusing.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

Okami, Ooky, Wolfy, Wolfy-San, Okami-Chan, my IRL name (to those who know it, and only in the Chat) Whatever personal preference fo the aove is, I honestly don't mind :D

EDIT: 'Kami is fine, too. Just make sure to have the ' XD

I tend to prefer "Your Smexiness" m'self, but that's just me. ^_~

"Raiden" is probably the most common, or "Rai", but that's usually if I know you pretty well. Japanese honorifics are up to you, although I would reserve something like "-chan" for people who know me VERY well.

Don't worry, I would never, ever, ever call you -chan, even if I knew you VERY well.

Yeah, that would be pretty awkward coming from you, wouldn't it? XD

Then again, so would "Your Smexiness", but I'm going to let that one slide.
