Why don't most of us have a proper name?

[Clare]

I notice many girls have names like 'CDJANE2005' and the like.

Why not 'JANE WOODS' or some proper name?

It makes it very hard to respond to 'WANTTOBECD' in threads doesn't it? I mean to me, it just doesn't have that personal touch to it!

I know my own full femme name is a bit long, but it can't be that hard to come up with a natural sounding name can it?

I know, I know, we can't use real surnames for fear of being recognised (mine especially as its a rare surname), but sometimes I feel like i'm conversing with a serial #.

I'm not out to offend anyone, but I wonder why there are not more names and less 'codes' out there!

[Priscilla1018]

I chose the name Priscilla,but there was at that time another Priscilla as a member so I had to add numbers at the end of my name.My signature is still just Priscilla,it's the name I am recognized with.

[suzym4u]

I go by Suzy Matthews...and I wondered the same thing Christine.

[Fallen Angel]

there has been many members who join long enough just to address certain members and then they drop off so when you try to pick a screen name some times you have to settle for whats available xxooxx

[Dawn]

Dawn Webster is my femme name Christine.
The newbie girls are probably going to have to use numbers pretty soon as we'll be fast running out of names.
So many new people coming on this site each day!

[Jeri Kay]

I am Jeri Kay.Have always been called Jeri Kay. Just a variation of my full name.If anyone recognizes it then they must be a sister.Can we talk?

[Wendy me]

i am Wendy .....and that's me....so.........wendy Me...................

[Katrina]

When I joined, I hadn't decided on a girls name. I didn't want to use my real name for obvious privacy reasons. I always liked the Simpsons and I thought the episode where Homer has a pet lobster named Mister Pinchy was very funny. I was going to use that, but I thought I should put a CD-spin to it, hence Miss Pinchy.

[Imogen_Mann]

I'll stick with Jayme from now (I decided that about a week ago)... It's close enough (no shit sherlock !) to my male name and I'm happy with it. I've had to use numbers before now where other people have already pinched "my" name. I usually use my Ex's birth date... so I can at least remember it to sign in to those places.

I feel like I have three names. The name on paper, I was given at birth (the one I use to get paid and have bank accounts). The family pet name I have (All my family and close friends use it) and then Jayme... The name I call myself.

I think if you have to use a number, it's best to use a significant one.

I've said my peice.

[Nicole_Lasmedias]

My name is Nicole Last name shows how much I love stockings. I went to babelfish and translated that word to spanish.

[Ibuki_Warpetal]

Mine is proper but totally fantasy based.

My name on another forum is _Z_Ryukenshoakumaakugouki.
Figure that one out.

[Serena]

My proper CD name is Serena Simpson. Serena's off of Sailor Moon's real name, and I chose it because she was my first anime crush. Simpson is because I'm still a big fan of the TV show. The only reason I didn't put my full name was because I hadn't come up with my last name then.

[tekla west]

I have a very proper name, but I don't use is as my email addy, in part because it was not an option. I wish there was some way of cleaning that up, so that our posts would come out right, perhaps

[The_Spacemonkey]

Hi, first posting.


I use this name for everything I do relating to computers and the net, so it's just force of habbit. That and I don't have a suitable psuedonym.

[Strike]

I use my name for everything computers, and other forums. Plus its my football terrace nickname, which is where it stems from. I am named after a Old Skool Dance Band I liked, who had a big UK hit with U Sure Do in 1995.

I chose my screen name for all the things that I love.
But my name is Maggie.

[Rachel Ann]

I began with Rachel. She told it to me in trance, I didn't pick it. Actually, she said "Racha-El" but I live in America in the 21st century, so I decided to regularize it.

There are a lot of Rachels so I added my sister's name to get Rachel Ann.

Sometimes there's even another Rachel Ann so I added Compton as a surname. It's a family name on my mother's side.

But I will still answer to "Rachel".

I'm not out to offend anyone, but I wonder why there are not more names and fewer 'codes' out there!

Some names are so widely used that folks have little choice.

[JennMW]

Walker is my "maiden" name!

[GypsyKaren]

I'm Karen James.My wife likes to call me Lady James.I call myself Gypsy because like them I have no real home. I'm a non-op tg,can't say I'm a man,can't say I'm a woman.

[Mia lynn]

Sweetie, I am using my proper girl name for this site and love doing it.
Hugs Mia

[Ibuki_Warpetal]

Walker is my "maiden" name!

Mine, too...

[Stephanie Brooks]

It's a computer thing, for me. I never thought to choose a "proper name" for my account. "fractlgrrl" was just easy. It's lower case so it's easy to type, I use it in other accounts, and the choice was simple.

My proper name is Stephanie Ann Brooks.

[Pip]

I don't have a female name, and really haven't given it much thought. I dress to feel sensual with my wife, not to BE a woman. I may or may not one day add a name to our role playing but for now I made my screen name something I felt....Pretty, and I am in PA.

[Glamour]
