Do your friends use your username as your nickname?

Dazzler21

Mine do already (without the 21 of course), they did before - but then it was my nickname before my username.

I'm interested to know if anyone else has their username on CL used as their nickname, also which came first user or nickname?

Addick Addict

Username - I am neither a dick nor an addict thank you!

Nicholas

I use @Stewart username when I talk to him

iamdan

Yes, without iam bit.

PaddyP17

Paddy rather than Patrick, yeah.

But also Pad; Pads; Padstow; Paddington; Pampers; and Pat. The versatility of my friends amazes me.

Big_Bad_World

Most definitely. Rolls off the tongue when having a chat in the pub.

Uboat

My parents are obsessed with naval warfare, so I just use my real name. I think my brothers, Dreadnought and Frigate, post under their nicknames though.

bbob

no

Stig

Not really, but I have been called it by other lifers. My 'real' mates would think it weird that I'd assumed the identity of my dead cat.

Leeds_Addick

No because I’m not from fucking leeds

cafcdave123

hawksmoor

Friends?

paulbaconsarnie

No.
My name is Dave.

AFKABartram

@LenGlover is the main one for me. I always when I see him naturally go to call him Len

iainment

Not really. But I have spoken to people as iainment if we discover we're both on here. Then given my name.

Uboat

Looking forward to Stig Thundercock's answer to this question.

alan dugdale

Yes but they omit Alan and Dugdale.

JamesSeed

If they did it would be a bit weird. Of course I rarely mention the Jimmy Seed connection.

Talal

No they call me by my real name, Tahar.

Surprised that you're not "Chirpy" on here, Chirpy. Although some might argue that it is an ironic nickname.

Big William

Only by Charlie Croker and Mr Bridger.
