People's real names v forum names

[blue_na]

Real name is Joe

An unfortunate typo on a yr9 assignment lead to much mocking from both students and the teacher. Since it was a IT course I ran with it for the rest of the year and it kinda stuck as my interwebs name ever since.

I had a similar situation in grade 6, we had to make name cards at the start of the year for the new teacher to learn our names, we spent ages making them colorful and exciting... only to realise at the end that I'd missed the 'H' in Nathan... So I was 'NATAN' for a while...

blue_na is because my mx5 is a mariner blue na6... very creative, yes I know.

[grump]

I used to be the boss of a couple of mates a few years back. They took advantage of my good demeanor and stood around talking most of the time. when i got up them they called me a grumpy barstard. so the name stuck. so after a few years. now in the marine industry if any one in brisbane talks about Grumpy, they all know who it is. about a year ago I started telling everyone that i didn't like the name grumpy. so they started calling me by my name. Graeme. It sounded really weird to them and me, so we all reverted back to grumpy.
When i'm running a multi million dollar project, the owners call me grumpy as well. Although some of them are a bit confused as i'm probably the happiest person to be around.
So Grump it is. hey i'm very comfortable with it now and see it as a term of respect. But as some people will say " don't try and hump the Grump" you might come off worse for wear.
cheers Graeme. ( Grump )

[xatz]

My real name is John, but people call me JD (cause my middle name starts with D) or Johnny.
xatz is just a name I came up with in high school and just sort of stuck as an internet identity.

Hi there,

I'm usually known as Pete. There are variations on this, but in the real world, I will actually respond to Crapweasel, as it's been a nickname since 1998.
