Stolen from ML, what first names did you think WC regs had when you first started posting? If you know their names now, what names do you think would fit?

Hmm I've never really thought about it I guess! I think most people I just assume if there is a name in their user name, that it is either their real name or something similar. Like I think of katespade as Kate, haha. I agree though that I thought of jjwritergirl as a Jessica or Jamie. I for some reason pegged bk1 as a Beth (I assumed the "b" was a first initial and I sometimes think of HoneySpider as her last name because I know more people with that as a first name than what hers actually is. I'm not sure what names I would have given everyone else!
Since I KNOW some of your real names from F Book, I'll try to remember what I thought they were in the beginning:
HoneySpider: Heather awick14: Amanda katespade: Kate! HA! bk1: Kelly jjwritergirl: Julie MrsAggie: Rachel katiek: Katie Star Gazer: Alex (like for Alexandria) grover: Melanie ewall: Elizabeth Wanderingenough: Lauren Luv2rn4fun: Elizabeth
Oo, this is fun!. I'll have to think back to before I knew some of your IRL names
MrsAggie: Crystal Wanderingenough: Lucy Grover: Elizabeth Star Gazer: Abigail Mac08: April Bk1: Lauren Awick14: Alyssa Katespade: Kate KatieK: Katie Ewall: Maria Pooh8402: Lexi MrsMB: Brittany Luv2rn4fun: Becca/Rebecca Estrellita: Megan HoneySpider: Shannon RockinRobyn: Robin Emtmissy: Kelly
I probably forgot a few, but I'll come back if I remember anymore!

You're close! My name is derived from the one you guessed for me, and that's my #1 if we ever have a girl.
travelbug my parents almost named me April! But my dad is a compulsive nick-namer and shortens everyone's names no matter what. My mom didn't want me to be called "Ape" for my whole life so they chose another name

People call me by my last name all the time and I hate it!
Fun game, but hard knowing so many of your names I'll come back to this.
This is where I am, too. I tend to think about people based on their username until I know otherwise. Like, as examples, I thought of jjwritergirl as JJ, and I thought of MrsMB as Mel. I'm not creative enough to think beyond that. Lol.
Lol I almost made this post the other day because of the ML post. I always wanted my name to be Crystal when I was little. Rachel is a pretty good guess in that my name was an insanely popular 80s name.

True problem, at least for girls named that while in elementary school. Not that I would know or anything...
