Not everyone on the net uses a 'callsign', you know.

Also: you're not 'born with' a name; you do not come out of the womb with a tag reading "My name is..." -- you are given a name by your parents; they can choose what to call you. If they choose to call you shithead, then, well, that's your problem.

Luckily, you can change your name to [almost] whatever you want to change it to.

I use the name I was given by my parents online, and I have no real interest in changing it, because it's fun laughing at people who either A. think it's not my real name, or B. think that I'm lying about my gender.

I'm going back to Johnny the Homicidal Maniac now; it's far more interesting....
