In such websites where we find hundreds of thousands of people it's better off to use nickname. But, if we are in a forum of old students of a college or something similar, rather use the real name. Well, I’ve answered it in a previous post. Anyway, I’ll repeat. I wanted something original and significant. I know that I’m talkative, and this website is called italki. And with the tendency of using the “I” in the beginning of the words like iPod, iQuit...etc. so the equation is: i+talk+tiv (it’s called mnemonic) Em… my real name is Zoubir, and so few those who know it. but, I prefer nickname for such forums. It your turn guys …..

huhu..your question really great.., i prefer to use the nickname in all websites in this world wide web.., [ah tau] for me, i like it because actually i tell people about my full name but just cut it a lil bit..huhu my full name is ahmad tawfiq.. so i cut the first name to be (ah) and the 2nd name to be (tau)...:P

Pseudonyms are like alteregos. You can be who you want to be. Maybe not a superhero, but if you are usually shy in front of people, you can be a very charismatic person online because you feel safer that nobody can see you or know about your real life, which may not be ideal. For me, I'm the same online as I am in person :P I've had enough experiences online that I'm no longer afraid to tell people exactly how I feel. It prevents a lot of future stress.

... as itlktiv*....So I'll still*.... ;-p

Well.. They are not actually, even if I'm in websites where we find hundreds of thousands of people as itltiv said. coz I know that 90% the other Chahrazed gonna use pseudos so I'll till the only chahrazed ;-)) If I find a good pseudo I'll change my mind :-D P.S: I know if I didn't exisit you would put your name Wanna_learn :-)) Salam
