Greedy and MOnkey are both internet originated.  Oh yeah, and I forgot about Ags/Aggie (from AgonyIsEcstasy)

Remove "the" and you have my real name. It's the name I use for all of my careers because I made a decision long ago that I wasn't ashamed of any part of my life and if a potential friend or employer was, I didn't want to have anything to do with them.

The issue of who prefers what can be confusing, especially when that person changes their mind and doesn't share the memo...  a local lady decided that she didn't want her own name used anymore, wanted us all to use her nic but her name was  pretty prominently displayed on her license plate!

FAST REPLY:

I came up with the name ShaktiSama when I needed a name for my studio and my identity as a photographer.  It follows me in various contexts, in and out of the BDSM scene.

Not very many people in the scene know my "real name", or particularly need to know my "real" name--I offer it as a courtesy if someone prefers to be addressed by their own first name, but it is simply a gesture of mutual respect and trust.  It feels a bit awkward to respond with the "scene name" when someone else has offered a name from outside that context--as if I was snubbing them or somehow suggesting that they were not trustworthy? 

In general, those who know me as a dominant and an erotic photographer call me Shakti, which is appropriate if they only know me in that context.  If our friendship goes beyond the scene and the role I play there, they may know my real name, but they are unlikely to use it to describe me to others, because no one will know who the heck they are talking about.

I go by the name our House has given me. We are House DeFaol and I am called Lady Bane. The only reason Our real names are used is for Legal purposes.  We all have a House name that we are known by both scene wise and in our Local Community.

I also tend to stay on the side of caution and prefer the anonymity in a BDSM setting. I am known as Goddess or Bohemian Goddess but also go by a nickname that has been with me since kindergarten and that is Goldilocks. I guess when I am old and gray the name may change but until then it fits me just fine.

Hi

Long time since on. In the scene and in real life I am Susan, and while usually dominant in the scene I am known as Domina Susan.

A few Kink friends are close enough that they have met family members so they know my birth name.  But most only know the Scene name that was incidentally created for a While Wolf roleplaying character.

Too true.  I had a nickname all the way through school.  Some, even quite good friends, forgot my real first name.  One of them shouted it across a station concourse a short while ago.

I have a horrible feeling that, one day, I'll be standing on a train platform and someone will shout "Hey, Peon!" from fifty yards away.  Still, it could be worse.  I could have chosen "Slaveforher" as a nick for CM.  Thank god I've got a thesaurus.

I have a scene name and this isn't it.

I changed my screename on cm and have been so happy to have a quiet profile that allows me to communicate freely with my friends-without distraction. This allows for much more rt fun.

And when I am out scening I introduce myself with a 'Miss' in front of it, My local group knows me by my most frequently used nickname. Most of the people in my group are known by their first names only as there are quite a few high-profile vanilla jobs to be concerned about.

It does get confusing when so many people in the scene have a different screename, email addy, and names they use in a scene might be different depending on their orientation at the time. Then their caller id pops up and I find this all so amusing.

I had a screename on another site that I used for years. I could also use it in the vanilla world because it was a commonly used woman's name. I miss that name but if I went back to it in the scene it would get very confusing.

I only give my first name when I am positive that the person is a long term addition to my life and I allow people to use it with a "Miss' in front of it. It has a really special meaning when I do that and hear it from my subs lips. I also save it for very special and intimate scenes so that adds a warm glow to my real name. Charges it up, see what I mean?

just ME

I use DV because it is recognizable to my online stuff. I wouldnt worry if someone knew my real name. ox, on the other hand, goes almost exclusively by Fox even in some vanilla settings.

I'm interested in how others express themselves by name. Do you always use your scene name? How many people in the scene know your real name?



On the boards I only give out my scene name. If you meet me in person then you will find out my real name. I am not a party goer so chance are if you meet me in person, you will be a friend. I tend to be private and the city where I work and the job I have would not be tolerant of me being in the lifestyle. I enjoy my job tremendously and I am not willing to risk loss of employment from those who know nothing of what we do and why we do it. So I keep my indentity secret until I know the person can be trusted with intimate details about me.

well....I don't really have a real rule about that to me...if someone would desperately want to find out my real name (s)he would find it in a different topic on here....regards to emails on here it simply depends on the circumstances...when it appears to me to get more involved with exchange of views then I write my real name underneath, in the beginning, most of the time, I just write phoenix or Pp as my initials from Phoenixpower...as Mrs. Pirate mentioned it, in my case a Mrs Phoenix doesn't exist yet....lol  but some folks on here also adresses me with "S" as they know my real name (*no respect for confidentiality from some of those folks on here*

I usually sign e-mails as "Anda" and use it in the local Scene. I like it, partly because it sounds similar enough to a regular name, like Amanda, that if I accidentally introduce myself to the wrong person at a coffee shop, they won't think anything of it. My actual name is pretty unusual, so I generally share it only after I've met the person a couple of times, or if we're going to be around other people I know. There are some people I know through the local Scene who have shown up at vanilla events I've gone to. Instead of calling me Anda, they went ahead and introduced themselves as what they wanted me to call them, and I gave them my actual name.

I don't always use my scene name no. If they introduce themselves by real name I use my real name, or I might just introduce myself as Chris, depending on my mood,  but then again I don't have a huge privacy issue with people knowing my real name or anything like that. There's probably at least 25 people who know my name in real life, and online every one on tribe knows my real name, it's my screen name.

I always go by Hobbit and I have since I was about 18. Everybody calls me that (even my mom) and I introduce myself that way to most people, I have friends who have known me for years and still don't know my given name.

One of our good friends  was so shocked to hear my husband calling me Lizzi rather then Hobbit that he went up to my husband and asked him, who's Lizzi? It's just so rare for anybody to call me Lizzi that in all the time we had known him it had never once happened.

Hi.

For a screenname or username we chose AcademyForSlaves so everyone knows who we are and where to find out more about us. And sometimes there's a few of us here posting at the same time (makes it a little crowded by the pc. lol).

About our names we're not in hiding or ashamed of who or what we are so we're not worried about our names. Most of us own subs and some of us are married but the married ones have sub husbands so it's never any problem.

My scene names now feel more real to Me than My own name does. I really only use the official real name when I have to, it being Jennifer. I dislike the full version of it because I only ever got called that when I was in deep shit with the parents and it got sort of barked out at me! I quite like Jenny, but people will muck about with the spelling (Jennie ... no not for Me) or shorten it further to Jen which I don't care for, and there's always the awkward types who insist on using Jennifer even (or especially?) when you say you don't like it! Now when people call Me by that name, I have to stop and realise, oh, that's Me!

So when entering the scene, I wanted a Dominant name and went with Maam (to show it's My Domme side) and Jay, the expanded form of My initial. I generally prefer subs to address Me as Maam Jay (I prefer the apostrophe but the site wouldn't let Me include it so I've got rather used to not having it now), whereas I am more than happy for Dominants to simply call Me Jay. Over time, my sub side had a number of sub names depending on the Dom i was talking to at the time, including starr and pristine-rose, both of which i liked for different reasons. However, once Master and i teamed up, He wanted a floral name but also wanted to recognise my love of all things purple ... hence violet. He doesn't tend to use it that often though, calls me pet a lot, so when We moved state, i asked Him if i could be known more generally by it and He said yes. So neighbours and friends here know me as violet, i use it in Our band, and when We commence Our travels, i am likely to be violet (or vi) all around the country. i like it

Maam Jay aka violet[A]
