Seriously, your user name is the name you've chosen when you register, it's your choice of name.
Well that's how I see it.

Call me Number 10 bus from Paddington, 'cos that's my username
I wouldn't call him that even so - he'd have to make do with 'bus'

Suspect this causes confusion for others though ... hmmmmmmm
But that's OK, all part of the fun

Re: Usernames
My true name is Moyra some people call me Mo, I answer to both but then with lots of Maureens and other Mo's around at least if my proper name of Moyra is used then I at least know who is addressing who. What's it matter anyway as long as we recognise who we are addressing. God love you all.
