I use my username hotrod1 because I have been using that everywhere for years now so I just continue to use it on my own forums and on others.

I use my username Dragonfire because I've used that username or a variant of it from the very first forums and chats I joined, and because of that everyone knows me by that. I rarely use my first name, because it's one of the most used names in the world (John), and I'm not used to it.

Well my name is Mike and that is also a very popular name but everyone who I get to know on my forum we have a first-name relationship but I wouldn't mind if everyone called me by my first name.

I've always stuck with my screen name for everything. I understand the advantages of real names, ect. , but it was sticking with this name that let my community grow. My forum(s) is kind of an amalgamation of a few communities, and I was known as this on all of them, so they can easily identify with that.

If your starting fresh though, it might be better to use names

I use whitemike primarily on all websites I am on, I am thinking about switching to my full name to look more professional though.

It totally differs for boards status. If the board offers a product then real name is the professional way. Otherwise nickname is always better. I personally use Lizard King always however i use my real name on vBSEO boards.

I used to use a false name, but earlier this year I switched to my first name. I think it works better that way. People seem to appreciate it more.
