Personas and user names
I've had about 10-12 different usernames since I started going on the internets. Most of them were names from favorite shows or my characters when I was younger. I recently started using RedNoseDog because I wanted something I could stick with and not sound lame. The idea came from an old sketch on a folder with a dog with rudolph's red nose.
"Mister Kent" is my real first name and the name of my autobiographical character when I was a little kid - my brothers and I all made characters of ourselves when we were little, using our real names and exaggerated versions of our personalities: Mr. Thor, Cheif Leif, and Mr. Kent.
I am too uncreative to come up with a fake name (I usually go for kristeng or krist3ng whenever I don't wanna use my real name) and also, I want to be the #1 result when you type Gudsnuk! Alas, I'm not right now (Damn Tom Gudsnuk, some second cousin of mine!! Why must you be on the internets??)
Anyway, I used to be on this poetry site (uh oh… hideous whininess) and I was like, "well I wanna be famous!" so I figured I should get my name out there, everywhere. I quickly realized the downside to this, as I wasn't able to put up things that I'd be embarrassed of if my friends and family saw.
And I still wanna be famous! and so as long as a few random people know my name, mission accomplished. Plus it often keeps me from saying what I really think and hurting people's feelings. so, win-win. I guess.
EDIT: hey I am #1 for Gudsnuk! yay. although really… there are only like 30 Gudsnuks out there. And many of them are very, very old people.
I got Robinson from the first African American major league baseball player, Jackie Robinson.
I freakin' love Jackie Robinson!! I saw a TV special on him; it was very moving. He got MVP in his rookie year and won the .. national… cup? for the dodgers!! *heart*
Also Roberto Clemente's tragic death always makes me very sad. old timey baseball players were so much cooler than today's steroid-robots!
Well, for me, if I ever decided to publish my actual written works, it'd be a toss up between my user name here or my real name (it's on my comics and looks like a pen name anyway).
The story behind the name isn't all that interesting, I'm afraid. As stated by many people I know, I'm pretty cold and have a dark sense of humor. I decided to look up the translation to "Mornie utúlië" and "Mornie alantië", which lead me to a Gaelic translation site, even though it's "elvish". (STFU)
Anyway, I decided to look up one of my older nicknames, "Blackhead" (nothing to do with acne and is a story in of itself). Well, I didn't like the translation (Creann Dhubh) so I looked up "Blackheart" and found "An croi dhubh", which means "Of the black heart".
Well, that fit me a lot better, so I dropped the An because I figured people would assume I was female and that would be annoying as hell. It happens sometimes with my gaming username before I speak.
It's pronounced Kree Guh Vah, not fucking Krroy Dub-ha, damn it
well….i'm json. i've used this spelling of my name for 18 years now. it's like an artistic "pen name" altered spelling of my real name.
my online persona is that of my own drunken self…..whether it is on these boards or over at http://www.hisstank.com/forum/ talking about G.I.Joes. i don't feel the need to take on any other personality or false sense of self. what you read is pretty damned close to what would be spilling out of my mouth….
Only two, identical twins to be exact. :DHuh. I'm a twin, too. I never thought about sharing an account, though. Interesting.
My generic username is the title of my first comic. I regret that quite a bit now.
I prefer to keep my comics separate from my real life so I prefer not to use my full name. I get funny looks and comments from the people I know when I talk about comics and comicking.
(shrug) My online persona is my usual self, as far as I can tell. Perhaps a little more restrained.
Well, for me, if I ever decided to publish my actual written works, it'd be a toss up between my user name here or my real name (it's on my comics and looks like a pen name anyway).You wouldn't want to use both? 'Title by Crio Dhubh/Joe Real Name'
I would on the Internet to confuse people, but not on actual publications. It would be way too annoying for people writing on message boards about the "two people who wrote xxxx". Also, it would be a pain in the ass for people who would want to do interviews asking how to get a hold of "Croi Dhubh".
Honestly, I've used Netpoet since literally about 1993 on the internet. Once I got into webcomics about 5,6 years ago, I dropped the -poet and have been running around as Net since then, at least with the vast majority of my online dealings.
Most of my friends are online, and for the most part, we know each other all via various forums and the like. I know everyone's real names that I consider on a friend or higher level… but I still call them by their personna names when in chat, email or what have you.
My real name's always attached to anything I do, of course… gotta protect that copyright and all that. But honestly, I think if someone came up to me just on the street and said "Hey Net," I think I'd probably respond in kind.
As for the naga avatar… that's a LONGER story for another time. :P
>Net
what in the WORLD is e-wrestling?!?
It's where you make up a fictional wrestler, say for instance "The Cutthroat Kid" Javis Blayde. You then design him as far as style, moves and finisher… his was "The Kiddie Coaster."
From there you join a fed, and get put on "cards" with matches. Your job is to then write roleplaying stories better than your opponent, usually involving trash talking of said opponent.
The guys running the fed judge who did the rp's better, and then write out a wrestling show where the matches are acted out. And there are championships and all that involved.
During my heyday in the National Wrestling Council ( a collective of 6 feds, dozens on participants) it wasn't unusually for me to write 20 to 50 PAGES a week of roleplaying stories. Yeah, it's as crazy as it sounds. =)
Mine is based on the fact I've always wanted to be called "doctor" without a certificate (much like Dr. Seuss did) and the "luck" part comes from the fact that I have an ungodly amount of luck. Whenever I play card games, I always get blamed for cheating somehow even though I don't. I do have my real name on my comic, though.
So…it's basically free-form roleplaying, but people decide who the real winner and what happened based on who they though wrote what was better?what in the WORLD is e-wrestling?!?

I use my real name on my art, but I found Kathryn Williams was a rather generic name that was usually already taken, along with Kat or Kat Williams. So I needed something I would remember that had some kind of connection to me and that no one else would use. So I took the a name from my first manga, now novel, which was for a group of death angels called the "Shinigami Shimai" Which literally means "Death Sisters". Back then I'd already buried my first girlfriend, lost my entire family and was pretty much alone so the name suited me and my writing style.
It has been about 10 years since I first started using the nick and it sort of stuck so even though I'm happier and married with my soulmate the nick still relates to who I am in some way, more so considering the novel it was taken from is my most popular works. The only problem with it now is the amount of people who think it is related to one of the many new anime out there that deal with death angels. *sighs*
Kat
My last name is Parker, but when I was back in Oz people called me ParkerFarker, so thats where i get mine from. Pretty simple. Although I had another account ages ago, Jaffa, and I used that name cause in Stargate SG-1 the main bad dudes are the Jaffa. I havent watched that in forever though.
Like others have said, it's my online personality here…my comic has my real name on the front cover and my Deviant art page has my real name. I came up with Tokyo Rose because it happened to be the name of my first comic, and I was so proud of it. Also back when I was just starting out, I wanted to use this as a kind of Pen Name.
i believe i've never used my real name on the internets, the username i have comes form a character in Don Quixote of La Mancha, his full name is Pandafilando de la Fosca vista (Pandafilando the squint sighted) a powerful giant who used to squint at his enemies in order to frighten them.
