A thing about NickNames

[Pella]

Ah. Got it.

[moehrpi]

I'm usually called moehrpi.
moe is fine, too, although it is pronounced differently. This name might eventually establish in chat.
moeh is only acceptable if you know how to pronounce it in German, since it sounds more like my real nickname.
Lemoe ist another deviation used in other occasions.

Either one is fine, whereas I prefer the first two.

[willng3]

Lord, where to start:

Will - Pretty self-explanatory, and probably the most frequently used.  William also gets used from time to time though I'm not sure why.

willu - I really don't know how this one got started, but it's grown on me a lot.  It probably has something to do with me calling Higurashi Higu.  Just maybe.  Alternative plays on this include willur and willru.

willing - I don't know if I should consider this a nickname as much as someone reading my username too quickly or assuming I spelled it wrong, but I'm sure there are some people who do it even though they know better.  Several of the first impressions I have of people start with this.

Willy - I'm pretty sure this was only used by jmdt.  It's been a while since anyone's called me this now that I think about it.  I actually don't like it when someone calls me this in real life, but I had no problems with jmdt using it to refer to me for some reason.

Wally - I don't remember who started using this one, I just remember it annoying me.

And then there's a whole list having to do with something about Frogs or being Master of Life.  Those seem to be used more around Trials time though.
I usually won't respond to someone who goes out of their way to create a nickname for me that really doesn't have anything to do with me or my username unless I know the person very well.  And by that I don't mean we've spoken a few times in chat.
I'd also like to say that I have a terrible problem with settling on a nickname when addressing someone who's more than just a chat buddy.  Lord knows how many times I've changed my nickname for Higs.  Unfortunately this problem originated in real life before manifesting itself here >_>

[Dm]

Well... Y'see, look well now....

... Does "Dm" count?
Dm itself is the Nicknamed part of my lenghty Name over the internet, the numbers are just there to fill in space and pass by the "3 letter minimum" "4 letter minimum" "Bla bla bla" stuff.

@Willng3 - I was the one using wally, IIRC. :3

[willng3]

Ah, that explains a lot.

[vrt]

'v' - apparently some people are lazy enough to shorten a 3-letter name.

'verti' and 'verticae' - because it's the 'full' version of my nick.

[Chapuz]

Chap, Chapu, idiot

[TribalTrouble]

You can add Ol'Chap onto that list now lol.

Me it's just

Tribal - You just are too lazy to type the rest, ay?
Trouble - I am a lot of trouble
TT - don't like this one very much but I can deal with it.

[ddevans96]

dd: Most people just use this.
ddevs: Other people use this.
ddevans: Some people use this.

Most people call me one of these three. There's other variations though:

ddev: The only one who really uses this, at least that I can remember now, is vrt.
ddevz: This started when dinosaurs roamed and chat and forums were separated and my chat name had a z on the end. People condensed and kept the z.
ddevans96: Some people, mostly those trying to make a good impression or more formal characters, like DesertKnight, use my full name.
Evans, evans: A few people call me this. The first one that I can think of using this is Napalm.
Mr. Evans: Matrim used this after I drafted him in Draft 2.
DD: A few people prefer capitals. I don't mind this.
dede: Mostly just xn0ize, I'm okay with it.

Nothing else is really relevant.

[Rutarete]

Kaito
- Only used primarily by ZBlader and maybe Absol in regards to a popular writing persona of mine

I've never called you Kaito?

[Hyroen]

Hyro.

Pretty simple, pretty and simple.

[Elbirn]

I've been getting "Elby", "Elb", and "El" a lot. I wouldn't be opposed to even just being "L" if someone was too lazy to type the "E". Elby I'm not so much of a fan of, because it sounds like "Shelby", but I'm not one to be picky over nicknames. I'm strongly of the opinion that a nickname should not be chosen by the person who has said nickname.

I suppose "Elbrin" almost counts as a nickname, seeing as how that's how everyone spells my name until I harass them about it.. xD
