What is your pseudonym, nom du guerre, alias or phony name? Where did you get it, when do you use it?

If you don't, why not? What if your mom googles you and finds out the most unacceptable thing to come out your ass?

fritz a. wollner is the name on the phony american express card that came with my wallet. I only use it here and when making dinner reservations.

Sekrap....my surname backwards, plus it sounds good and officious.

Anyone reading the novel will be amused to learn I've used Tim Regis as a psuedonym for many years here and there, though the character in the novel is most definitely *not* me. ;-) As to where I got it, ask my eleven year old self, he dreamed it up.

Ah...I have no pseudoyms! Most mums will have seen very unacceptable things coming out of their childrens asses anyhow...the results there of.

Unfortunately DG has stuck and now everyone calls me it, even my mum.

― DG, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Er if you mean nicknames then I guess everyone calls me Fitzy. Don't love or hate it much.

Did I get it from a mathematician? A quantum physicists? A mechanic? No, I got it from a parrot. (no, a mathematician.) The squid bit in my e-mail is silly; yet I love all cephalopods.

96, perhaps. Not very good.

M No Reverse, and it used to be Maria Andricus. I need a new one. Those are terrible.

A parrot? All this time I thought it was a rich Italienne fart.

― Mr Noodles, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

are you referencing the episode of square one with the parrot that recited the fibonacci sequence (from the mathnet segment i believe)?

I have heaps of peudonym, mo of which dreamed up in my youth. Menelaus Darcy is my current favourite though

I have been a Cynical Wench, Finn, many many others, and casually have used my email name, Grimstitch here and there. Never seem content with any of the pseuds tho. That's why now I am just plain Kim. Unfortunaly that tends to be taken in 99.9% of all registered places on the WWW.

honey glass, becuz i'm sexy, dammit

don't have one, but did do a mixtape (decks and mixing and everything, woo!) under the name 'Bobby Lopez' in 1999

It's got to the point where I have so many pseudonyms I can't even REMEMBER what name I was born with. It's a good thing, tho, because I can often track where I know someone from by what name they call me.

My mum doesn't google.

The Barnet APe because I am a Barnet fan, do very good monkey impressions and it is an anagram of my name.

I've been posting on a football club internet-group for 4/5 years where pseudonyms/nicknames are the norm, + advisable (juvenile oppossng fans sometimes send viruses/threats etc). When a previous server folded last year we decamped to Lusenet where one day I stumbled across ILM + discovered musical kindred spirits. I kept the 'nom du guerre' out of habit, besides I prefer it that way.

― stevo, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have several: Kodanshi, Jagannatha, Chanticleer.

― Kodanshi, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nick, is the fear of Googlemum syndrome why you have an extra "o" in your name these days?

I am the legendary Biondino. Though I sort of don't use it much these days except as regulation internet registration pseudonym #1.

Oh, and I do have another but I'm not telling you as it's actually like a pretend proper name. Oh, and I also have smithee_alan for when I don't care if people realise I'm faking it.

of course,I used to be Cabbage, indeed I still am on occasion.

― chris, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I sincerely hope my mother doesn't google me - it sounds most inappropriate.

Um, my pseudonym is James Urbane (which I think sounds mega-cool though some have pointed out that it sounds like "James Dur-brain" - rascals!)

Before that, and indeed still in some darkened corners of the interweb, I was thearchitectjamesward (on the grounds that I was studying architecture but then it turned out that architecture didn't like me studying it, so I thought I best change my name).

Pseudonyms rock! I have a T-shirt which says "Live pseudonymously"
