Well, I was excited to see this thread! I remember how much fun it was last time, and I hoped that someone would link to the old thread. Lab linked to the
old, old thread, but I remembered sharing the story of my nickname way back when...
So I dug up
this thread , in which you can read the fun
story of my name. 
I've had a blast reading everyone's stories!
As for that real name vs online name thing...
I had no problem calling Kaylle by her real name when I met her last summer (which is probably because I
still pronounce her nick wrong in my head every time I read it :rolleyes: ), and the same with Doranwen, though I still tend to call her just "Doran" in chat. Now, Julie, on the other hand... there's a funny story that goes with that. I stayed over at her house when I was in Toronto this last summer and she told me what her mom had asked her.
Julie's Mom: *sounding worried* Should I call you Julie while she's here?
Julie: Mom, she knows my real name.
I died laughing when she told me that!
Nevertheless, I still call her Julie... as did everyone else when we met up.
