Butterfree's Name
One thing I never understood about Butterfree is that she doesn't like being called by her real name, from what I've seen when people did call her by her real name "Hlín" she goes berserk on them... Why? I've never seen anyone act so angry about being called their name, It's a simple formality. I don't have a problem with people calling me "Sean" even though it sounds completely retarded to me, so yeah.

Re: Butterfree's Name
A lot of people don't like to be called certain things. I don't mind being called by my first name online, but some people do. It's a respect and a privacy thing. If they ask you not to, you don't, simple as that.
Personally, I've never seen her go "berserk" on anyone really for calling her by her first name. I don't think I've ever seen anyone here do that in all the years I've been here, actually. Even back on IF. Last edited by Phantom; 10-29-2014 at 07:48 AM. |

Re: Butterfree's Name
It just makes her uncomfortable, if I recall. I really hate it when people refer to me by my given name. If I wanted people to call me that, I would have made it my username. People just have preferences, it's not really something that requires very much analysis.

Re: Butterfree's Name
I mean, I'm kinda similar myself. I don't mind people knowing that my name is Rebecca, but when I'm online I'm pretty firmly in "I'm hope" mode.
Of course, I feel weird calling anyone by their real names online. |

Re: Butterfree's Name
I don't care what call me on here, as long as I'm not offensive. I keep my real name a secret online. If you're too lazy to type my whole username, KFF works... or maybe just Ferret.

Re: Butterfree's Name
I can understand that to some extent - while my real name is Silke, online I mostly go by the name Zanreo (well, most other places than here, where I joined 2012 or later) and that's what people know me as (though a lot of them do know my real name, and I don't keep it a secret if they wanna know). When people I only know online suddenly call me Silke out of nowhere, it's always rather unexpected. I don't really have a problem with it and people can call me that instead of Zanreo if they want, but when online I'm usually in a sort of ""my-name-is-Zanreo"-mode so it tends to catch me off-guard a bit.
And when talking to my online friends who are better known by/usually uses their nickname instead of real name, I usually use that instead of their real name. Though, I don't use other people's names that often at all when talking to them, nicknames or otherwise. It feels a bit... personal, or not sure how else to describe it.

I rarely tell anyone on the internet my real name since it's a) not particularly common even here & I'm paranoid, b) nobody really needs to know it and c) you'd all just pronounce it grossly wrong in your heads. Plus, I feel slightly awkward in even real life when people call me by my name (especially if it's someone I don't know very well), so to me it's better to just be Equinoxe or whatever my username happens to be in a specific place.

Re: Butterfree's Name
i call most of my online friends by their internet nicknames because that's what they prefer. i think that's pretty common for most people online anyway
i used to be called jolty 100% of the time by my friends (and anyone else) but now most people call me by my real name which is fine with me because it's my name and i chose it and it doesn't make me feel weird and shitty like my birth name does. even seeing my birth name anywhere is like "pls get this away from me" maybe that's why most people online prefer their internet names to be used. because they chose them themselves.

The only reason I bring it up on my About Me is that some people on the Internet make a point of using people's real names in personal conversations with the intent of making it more friendly and personal, and they'd probably rather know if they'd be unintentionally weirding the other person out instead. It's not even that it makes me uncomfortable, it's just... mildly awkward. Water Pokémon Master has been calling me Hlín for like a year and I don't even mind enough to tell him to stop; I just think it sounds kind of weird and silly.

But yeah I never realised just how weird being called by your real name online is until I changed my internet handle, I have this jarring little moment whenever internet people address me anything besides "Sang" these days. Though I guess calling me by my real name is pretty much ingrained into most people on this forum and it feels a little silly expecting anyone to just change what they're used to calling me. also wue your name is like the best thing Last edited by Meowth; 11-03-2014 at 01:16 PM. |

Re: Butterfree's Name
I'm uncomfortable with names in general. Whenever someone mentions me by name in a post, I get uncomfortable. But when someone calls me Lily online, I'm in *extremely inching away mode.* unless it's a friend irl and I know their real name too.
