Category: Let's talk
earlier I was present during a conversation where a user asked for her real name not to be revealed. actually I'm not sure if it was a her as her profile didn't tell me, but .. well we'll say her for now. So when I asked who she was hiding from, she said she didn't want anyone to know her real name for safety purposes, so ... are you paranoid about who you tell your name to? after all, a name is just a name isn't it? does it really matter who knows?
Nope, I could care less who knows my name smile.
it's Lisa, Ann, Hudson. Go ahead and look me up. If i get some strange call, or some stranger at my door who's stocking me, i'll just call 911, and it would suck for you! Shouldn't go around stocking people lol.
I do appriciate however, people who use caution, as this sort of thing does happen, but as for me, I have other things to worry about.+
I don't mind people knowing my name, after all, thoughs who I meet in every day life will learn my name apon first beeing introduced. so why should on line be any different? Maybe the invent of usernames and handles on line has made people unjustly paranoied. who knows.
Nope. I don't care who knows my real name. Puggle has a very good point on there being no difference between face to face meetings and online meetings. So here is to everyone!!! My name is Michelle Yang!!!
As you know, I don't mind sharing my real name, but it's my middel name. I rarely ever give out my last name and don't have any reason to tell my first since I rarely go by that anyway normally. If I've been chatting with the person for awhile, feel comfortable about it, and they're curious and don't mind sharing their full name either, then I don't mind, but generally I won't. I guess the reason is that even though most people would not take the time or think of looking your information up, it can still be possible. So I wouldn't even want to take a chance on that at all. It's not that I see all people as bad, as I've made many friends off the Net who I really like chatting with, but to me, all they really need to know as far as my name, is what I go by and of course, I'm honest about everything I tell people, so yeah. *smiles*

I don't mind people knowing my first name, but I don't reveal my last name. I guess just for safety. I don't think some carzy person is going to come stalk me or anything, but even so, my first name is usually all i tell people. Plus a lot of people know who I am in real life anyway, at least on here. Btw, my first name is Kerri, and the K and R in my username are my initials.
i don't really like giving out persinal information and i hate it when somebody else decides to give it out.
by now most of you know my real name (thanks to other users) but i like to hide lol.
No however if it was something embarrassing like reginald or herbert, then, I'd be loathe to admit ownership...
personally i couldn't give a rats ass who knows my name! Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan. please to meet you all!
lol lol lol lol lol hahahahahahahahahahaha please to meet you too
James Dietz. Pleased to meet youz I'd be surprised if people wanted to find me but I know they might be able to ... someone here was able to do it on skype with me, but I didn't coach them or anything. But I share the name with a famous WW2 artist or something, so yeah. BUt people must think they're pretty hot stuff if they think they are going to get stalked if they give away their full name... most of us aren't that important.
James
I don't usually give out my last name unless people need it for their address books or something, and if I trust the person. My name is Melissa (AKA Mel.)
let me think, I have been answering so long to the name "eejit" and though at times it has been/is at times a good description, yet still my name is Connie Grace. Grace is my middle name and my mother's first name. I also prefer not to share my last name. Just call me Connie ....or eejit
.................................................................. this here eejit of a person, me, was so happy to hear that the one calling her this had survived through that attempt of personal life taking that she had heard about that she didn't know how to respond as it was basically the first talking in a month from that end of August 2004 to the end of Sept. 2004. I think it is only of late that I am personally coming out of the shock of that news to my system. ............................. To Harp, Yes, maybe I should have gone on meds.in response to your question of me, but its not easy hearing that someone you care about may no longer be alive. I know I am not responding under the "correct" Posting but seems to me that Post of rdfreaks has gone on long enough and given that you and SB know each other then I trust this won't be a problem. Just being a bit real here. Connie
I couldn't care less! Byron is my real name, I mean it's common knowledge thanks to those whom I know anyway, so it's all good and well!
Lol Alex. And I don't have any problem with people online knowing my name, since it's kinda odd having them call me anything else. Erin
No. I like my name and I'm proud of it and everyone can know it.
Ines.
No. I like my name and I'm proud of it and everyone can know it.
Ines.
I don't mind sharing my first name and have given it to people whom I have exchanged quicknotes or private messages with on here. In fact, this is the only site where I have used a user name rather than just my first name. So my name is Becky.
SB I have a friend like that! I still don't know her sir name, even though we've met face to face before and we chat only on msn. it's just that I keep forgetting to ask her sir name on the few occasions we've seen each other in person.
I don't really care if I give my name out. it's only a name, as you say. I just wanna be on the safe side with my sir name though so I only have "Rachel K" for my display name. I am very careful though in my online journal of writing people's names. even though a lot do it and they are only names, I some how feel it's not my place too. In public entries I would usually use initials though on the odd occasion lately I haven't done so as much. as, I'm thinking it is a name, could be anyone's name.
Interesting! However,
Rachel Dianne Keyte; come get me! :)
Well, for those who don'T know: my surname is Mayer. This is a name you find very often in Germany, and, I hate it, but I don'T mind sharing it. I don'T understand why someone would keep their name as a secret.
I am very fond of my name its been handed down through every male in my family and strangely, Alistair my brother's name, means Alexander in Gaelic...so we have fun explaining that 1 as people get very confused...cant imagine why...
Lol.
Ines, that's funny, my maiden name was Meyer. It's also very common in Switzerland, and I wasn't particularly fond either :-). My first name, surprise, surprise, is Susanne.
Lol. Well the "le" at the end of my username is typical for the part of Germany where I live. It's like "little". So you could translate my username "little Ines 1987".
Hm, in Switzerland it would be -li instead of -le. And I didn't realize that you can attach the diminuitive to first names. Actually, come to think of it, I guess I did.
Those of you who have chatted to me on the zone will know that my real name is Suzy. I did'nt see the point in using a user name although i can see why people would use them for safty or because they don't like there real name but i prefere to use my real name Suzy as it feels like people are talking to me personally then and i just preferr that.
Heh don't care. When I first came onto the online community, I didn't have any reason or knowledge to not share my name. So even if I don't use my name for logins there are a lot of people who know my first name. And if you don't know, it's Nehemiah. Also I'm on a lot of mailing / discussion groups, so my first and last name (which is Hall for the record) goes out just about every day. So it'd be pretty pointless to hide who I was.
Couldn't give a damn, Everyone knows my name is Danielle. It's in my profile. I don't give out my last name unless someone wants to know. Not coz I care, but, I don't get introduced to people in the street with my last name, so what's the point. If someone wants to know, they have a tongue in their heads don't they? No big drama...... smile
I never know if I'm seeing a boy or girl with your name since lovely trippletalk does not differentiate between "Daniel" and "Danielle" will have to change that!
hmm!!! very much female...... thank you...... he he
i'm daniel, i have a penis, she's danielle, she doesn't. hey rachel would it help at all if you trained your speach to refer to me as dick? *grin*
Lol Dan!!
Lol! And Nehemiah is a really cool name btw.
Never heard that!! Sounds very - exotic, and nice.
lol Harp you're too much! OK then cool! I will change my jaws dictionary entry to say "dick" for your name Lol! or what about "bullock obsessor"? Lol haha
Lol hahaha!! At least my name is unique!!!
i have a name who is more than normal. . Joanne is my english name and its sounds very familiar. i don't mind to let people know my name. like what sb and all of you say, just a name only anyway. some of you might calling me Jo, Season or stuff like that. but well, its just a name. cheers.
yeah I agree a name is just a name, I don't mind people knowing my name. My name is Kat. Well my full name is Kathryn, but everyone calls me Kat.. I don't give out my address unless I really know the person and as far as my phone number definatly not!!! The things i give out over the internet are, my name, my AIM and msn contact and my skype name.
i don't care if people know my name, afterall, it is in my profile. i am definitely careful though, and i have to know the person for a little while before i tell them my full name.
I agree, telling the address is a bit more tricky. I would not tell anyone, either.
My real name is Lauren.
Bico I'm sorry, I honestly thought, until now, that you're a guy. Lol, sorry.
oh, go to about the second or third page on this board, there is a post that explains my reasons for this name.
hi all,
Well my name is Darren. I wouldn't go giving out my second name out to people although it's in my email address lol. ok ok so it's a contrediction but who cares lol. Still, doesn't bother me at all.

Hi Daryn, I don't know if you remember me or not. We use to talk on msn messenger sometimes, but now I can't use msn messenger, because I'm using windows 98, and version 6.2 won't work well with jaws unless you use windows xp, and since it kicks you out when you log in unless you upgrade to6.2, so right now, my msn messenger days are over. I didn't use it a lot anyway, because I'm not a good multitasker. Anyway, in keeping with the topic, I'm a total believer in anonymity. so if a name is just a name, what does it matter if it's just a screen name? I don't care if people use their real names, screen names, or whatever. My apologies to sugar baby for getting slightly offf the topic, just had to say hi to Lord loldemort.
wonderwoman
Name time! Most of you probably know me as, or have heard me refered to as, John L. The L, in case you're wondering, stands for Lipsey. The D, my middle initial which accompanies all my e-mail messages, is for Dean. Dean is my grandfather's name. Go ahead and google me if you wish... there are a few people who share my name. I don't think I'm related to them though.
As far as other info goes, if I've known you for several weeks, and we've chatted frequently in that time period, I'll probably give out my cell number... everyone and their dog can have my cell number. I have voicemail... you leave a message, and I call back those I want to talk to. :) Evil I know.
Pax,
-John L.
everyone and their dog? you get calls from lots of dogs do ya? now now that is no way to talk about the less desireable people who have your number ... jk, grin. Personally I don't give out my cel number to anyone unless I trust them implicitly.
Heh, well I usually give my cell out before I give my home phone out. Got one of those talking cels so I can use caller id, and screen calls if need be!
hmmm I don't care who knows my name, but... Well... my last name I don't use that much anymore lol for those of you who don't know it it's Karrie...
i don't care either who knows my name....... well that is Jo (which is short for something but i hate it) so as far as i'm concerned it's Jo. And o yeah I'm a female. I think that is the question i'm asked most often
umm, well. lol. i don't usually give my real name, except in msn, (since there are people i trust, shich is most of my contacts) or I give it if someone asks me, umm, well, if I trust them.
Hello everyone. Intersting to[ic, generally I don't mind giving out my name. It depends how well I know the person and their personality. Bfn.
I've never really thought about it much, to be honest. My name is listed as part of e-mail replies, so eh. However, I can see why people would be concerned.
Hmm, it seems to me if someone is hiding, and even hiding there first name, they have something to hide. Makes me wonder. what one's hiding. Oh, yeah, I'm not hiding anything. My name is Bridgette, so ther ya go.
If you were to Google Allie, you wouldn't find me, LOL! Not only is Allie a variation of my first name, chances are I wouldn't be listed under that name anyway since I went by my middle name for so long. *GRIN*
I know people like that but I don't mind.
Troy
my name is so common that i don't really give a damn who knows it. Jessica Leigh Sears.
the name's Jen
i've got 2 skype numbers that i give out to people, they are very secure so i don't care who has them. because if i haven't got you added then you cannot get through. pure and simple
lol...couldn't care less who knows my name...there's a lot of people online who can tell you if I don't so what's the point?
My name is...you ready for this?...drum role please...
Louisiana-Sparkie Galileo Griffin.
and there you have it.
and there we have it indeed!
Pretty name, Loui. *GRIN*
love your name loui. i wouldn't mind naming my kid louisianna if i ever have one.
Hello all my name is Chris, for those of you who may not know it. I don't really mind who knows my name or not. The only problem is there's way to many damn Chris' on this site and it gets quite confusing when someone using our real names when asked a question or something. lol
Its jennifer gale palmer i would love someone to knock on my door i will fuck you up
Personally like most of you folks, I don't mind who knows my first name because it's very comon worldwide.
There are lots of Marias all over the place.
I don't give out my sirname because it's Greek and therefore unusual and therefore it will be easy to find me. my dad was half Greek you see.
I also don't give out my address or mobile phone number unless I trust a person and my landline is x directory.
The reason I'm so careful is because I've been stalked before.
All the best,
Maria.
Then, it would be perfectly understandable to be careful!
Many people are paranoid about everything! It's quite annoying. My name is Cameron.
I don't really care who knows my name either, as long as people just call me Jen or Jenny. I was christened Jennifer Louise, but I'm not too girly if you follow me. I get this horrible picture of a three-year-old toddler in a hideous frilly pink frock when I put the two names together. My real name though is Jennifer Louise Fairhurst. There! It's out in the open! Cringe! Goes red with embarrassment).
I hate my name. All of it. Except my last name, it's cool. My first name however is Tricia. T R I C I A. lol
