I'm having an identity crisis!

Interesting.

I use the first name usually only to raise the attention and the full name to upbraid her.

Wow, my mom does the same thing.

How about an icon? Or a logo or Prince-like symbol? "The sub formerly known as Samantha"?

LOL! I may change myself to "unpronounceablebijou".

I do love scene names in general, but I'd never say one has to have one. I think some people find it helpful either for anonymity or for being able to bring out some portion of their personality for a scene.

Any reasonable community will accept you without any special name, I should think. And if not, of course there's always the midget jello wrestling. Good luck!

I go by my real name, so does Seb. Nobody needs a scene name. People want them for various reasons, sometimes to seriously protect their identity, somtimes because they just want a "cool" name. Whatever.

Don't feel like you HAVE to have a scene name. I seriously doubt that 1) any club would ask for your name and 2) then turn you away for not using a fake name.

If you want to use your first names, go for it! I know plenty of people who do (besides me and mine).

I use my real first name too. I've had some people look at me funny, but whatever. Scene names are very common around, though the group I usually deal with doesn't tend to go in for pretentious names. The closest would be the female dominants that go by "Miss so-and-so". While I don't really care for titles, I can't get fussed up over "Miss".

That said, some people refer to me as Homburg. I don't introduce myself that way, but they've associated the name with me online for so long that it is simply how they think of me. *shrug* I'll respond to it if I notice it, and I've used it as an online nic for long enough that I tend to catch it.

i want to go see the midgets wrestle in jello!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really not a cool as it sounds. They have to keep the jello very shallow, or the midgets could drown.

for real! I need a nickname. Because apparently people don't go by thier real names for things like play events. I don't have a nickname. I mean, some people call me "Sam" but only those people who knew me a a kid and really, I try to avoid them whenever possible.

I think my husband and I must be terribly formal with each other, we are always using our names. Mabye a "honey" thrown in now and then.

I'm so not going to start calling myself "goddessslutspankwhore" and he would just never go anywhere if it required anything like a nickname.

So for real, can't we just use our first names? Do we NEED "scene names?"

This is pretty much a rant...I"m thinking they club won't turn us away if we don't have exotic sounding names LOL

how about Miss Ingname. Get it? Missingname?
