...ask your MFPeeps their real names?

i know that sounds lame, BUT this is my way of thinking, which by my name may or may not scare you, so bear with me.

it's simple:

people, friends on here, most of them, have their own reason for their screen names and it doesnt involve their real names. i have a few friends that I know their real names. mostly just cause we chat via PM and it just happens, but with that being said, there's some friends i consider good friends but dont PM with usually but i want to know their names BUT i dont want to make anyone feel "obligated" to tell me by my asking them straight out. some people are just private...

i sound lame i know but i KNOW there's some people out there that get what im saying.

so basically, im just writing this to throw it out there so my friends that i love will just tell me their names - consider it a mass PM !! :D

im teasing. i just dont want to seem nosey - even tho they know i'm not but still.

jeesh, im lame tonight. ill hit send and go refill my drink :)

Bahahaha....J/K...only about being crabby. My name actually is* Dave...and I don't really care who knows my name...or why anybody calls me whatever names they do...* :bigsmile:

    My screen name is self-explanatory. Karen's my real name, and I really am a Red Sox fan. =)

    I glanced at your screen name and in my head I saw it as Karen's Ox Fan! :laugh:

    My real name is in my profile for anyone to see. I'm all over the internet anyway, so I have no reason for anonymity! :bigsmile:

    I genuinely thought it was Suzy! :blushing:
  • I don't see anything weird about asking someone's first name. Last name would be kind of creepy, but first, nah.

    I'm Juliet. :smile:
