The people I know in real life, I think of by their actual names. And sometimes it's hard not to say their name in a post. Then there are the people I think of by their nest names, and if I met them in real life, I would have a hard time not calling them by their nest name. Like Angelaaaaaa.

Cordelia.
Love! It's so much more romantic than Anne (with an e!)
I like my name ( which is not Grace) but if I had to rename myself I go with Anna, or maybe Nora. I also like the name Roberta. My H dies whenever I say I like the name Alberta.
Well mine is in my screenname, Lauren, so it's not secret. I'm not worried about people knowing it, obviously. There are tons of other girls named Lauren so it's not like i'm easy to find if you did a search.

I'm not a reg obviously, but I know a couple posters and I think of them by their name instead of their screen name. there are some other posters from other boards I know IRL and some of them I think of as their real name and some not.
I'm okay with my name. I'm not in love with it or anything but I don't dislike it. My name was very common in the 80s so it was a pain always having a million girls with the same name in classes, but I'm okay with it.
I havent met anyone so no one knows my name and I dont know anyone elses. I wouldn't rename myself, I have an old fashioned name that is pretty uncommon these days.
I'm fb friends with half a dozen nesties, so when I read their posts I think of their real names. I don't think non fb friends know my first name though.

Also, I have never liked my IRL name, but I don't know what I would rename myself. I welcome suggestions.
I went through a brief phase in elementary school where I wanted everyone to call me by my middle name instead, but I could never get it to stick so I eventually gave up.
