So I'm Eric. Or evilas. Or ericvilas on Tumblr but that one's weird. I honestly only go by 2 names here, one of which is a nickname. I use one of these three everywhere. But I've come across people who have been referred to by at least 2 names here, and have a third one in the Skype chat or somewhere else and I wanted to see what all these are! So basically, I wanted to ask the question, what are all the names and nicknames we might find you referred to as? (Only the ones you'd like to make public here, of course.) EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, I'm curious about all the things you go by, not just the usernames.
I go by Emma or Emsz or Emszie, and in the very, very distant past I went by waterpologirlemszie or waterpologirl. I haven't used the latter two in ages though, due to the fact that I haven't played waterpolo in a long time. I sometimes wish I have more awesome/more distinctive nicknames, but Emsz just suits me, and Emma is just my name :)
I'm usually either Saro or Sarochan (for when four letters is too short or Saro's already taken). senselessalchemist on Tumblr because fantroll handle and then couldn't think of anything I liked better. Very very rarely I'll use Kota or Rojachan, but those are for the extreme circumstances in which Saro/Sarochan are taken.
i'm bel capricorn or belcapricorn most places, but my tumblr and anything from that time period is under actualitytermination. edit: evilas said I should put my name here. I'm Nick! Sometimes my accounts will show up under my name! but often i'll put my name as Bel Capricorn so it can't be immediately connected to me by spambots or what have you.
I'm either Malaloba or Mentarnes everywhere. Only time I'd use anything else is for RP reasons or because I don't want to be recognized.
LissaLysik'an, LissaLysikan, Lissa_Lysikan, Lysik'an, Lysikan. EDIT because OP added an edit: the name I always go by is Lissa.
I am Kit! I've been standardizing to paladinkit lots of places, although on tumblr at least for right now I am under tinygandalfarmy. A couple of other handles or nicknames I've used semi-frequently online and IRL have been secretkitten and Kittlen. I've... pretty much stopped using any name other than Kit anywhere online, and a lot of the older nicknames are pretty tied to my birth name, which isn't quite a "deadname" for me but does make me :/ so *shrug*
all my usernames are either deresto or something i think up on the spot when deresto's taken. my friends in high school used to call me bam bam, and i rather like it as a nickname.
I always go by Elaienar unless I don't want anyone to recognise me. El and Elai for nicknames. There are a lot of nicknames for my given name but none of them feel right so I don't use them or ask people to use them. I don't bother to correct people if they start calling me by a diminutive, though, so there are a couple of people who call me by nicknames. Also my dad used to call me Tough Cookie and a friend of my brother's nicknamed me Ice Queen back when I was a cranky teenager. I liked both of those nicknames because of the connotation of durability/firmness.
I tend to be TwoBrokenMirrors anywhere that needs a username and Mirrors anywhere that asks me for a nickname, except on Skype where you'd see me as Gabriel Hale and rabb.it where I'll... either be Gabriel Hale or pinpiggy i only just made an account i don't know how it'll show up
I usually go by Socket pretty much everywhere online, although that's already a nickname. (My dA/art tumblr name was Electrical-Socket, now oddsocket. One of my followers asked if they could call me Socket for short and it stuck) Sometimes it'll end up shortened to Socks, which I quite like as well. c: ...Multiple watchers have tried to use the other half of my new username and call me 'Oddy', which I literally cannot stand for some reason. You're using the wrong part, guys, argh??
nontumblr wise, i usually pick a ray pun if possible (raybot/raygun/sting ray are the ones i've got so far). i almost always have to add letters or numbers or something because most of the time someone has already taken the username. then i have my tumblr and related stuff (ao3 for my fic, youtube for my fanvideos) that all have basically the same fandom related username, but regardless i usually go by ray on there. ray is a nickname (from raymond) that i use in all places but kintsugi! for... kinda obvious reasons. i don't want to cause confusion and i really really don't want to get upset because i accidentally interpreted something about caa-ray to be about me (as most comments about caa-ray are negative, that would make for a v upsetting and confusing kintsugi experience) and stuff. so hopefully that will be avoided? yes
I generally go by Acey. My IRL name is Anna Cassidy (Surname), which is the origin of Acey (AC), and which is also not my legal name...yet. I plan to change it at some point, money permitting. :P On Tumblr I'm damaramegido because she is my trash waifu. Let's see. I used to go by Mandy online when I was a smol, but that's also the name of my main OC, and while she started off as a self-insert she's very much grown into a separate entity, so I don't use that anymore. I've also used Auxiliatrix (usually Aux or Auxi for short) in places? And I use a lot of other usernames (for instance, my Instagram is rustmaid). I'm very inconsistent.
my nicknames depend on who i'm with!! i like going by 'apple' here and on tumblr. it is a good and cute name, and it feels normal responding to it. my siblings and mom usually call me 'naan' (pronounced like naan bread) or 'nan' (pronounced like half of nanny). "anna banana" has been a constant my whole life, also occasionally "nanners". also like @Acey my username comes from my initials!! AC -> applechime. also apple has double letters like anna so it is a comfy word (⋈=ᴗ=)
I'm Exohedron in a bunch of places, like blogger and soundcloud, and people occasionally shorten that to Exo. I'm Layra, Layra-chan or Layra Idarani in a bunch of other places, which people would sometimes turn into Layer-cake. I mostly use Layra when I want to appear to be using an IRL name but don't want to use my actual IRL name.
