eh? Confused as to what your asking.

the net is new to me and i am trying to get an under standing of why people dont use their real names.

[Marky Mark]

Kenny,
  I believe that people use an alias in order to not let it be known to the world who they are,not because of trying to be some one they aren't,but rather to protect their identity from people that may have ulterior motives.

Hi Kenny,

Everyone worldwide has access to the internet, nice people and not nice people. Many posters live in places where persecution is rampant; not only from governments but from theological cemeteries of christendom also. Privacy of some kind is always the prerogative of the individual, if one wishes they can go totally public or stay in anonymity. I am explaining this way because you state that you are new to the internet and may not be aware of this.

[Beloved]

I do not use a nom de plume to hide.

I use this moniker  because I want to rid myself of all the carnal elements that are associated with my earthly life. I picked this name because it one that has stuck with me over the years, having heard once sincerly used by a particulare preacher and  I identified with it.   

I also like the symbolism in the Song of Solomon.and since no one on earth has "pledged their troth" to me but Chirst....this name is ...in a way my acceptance of the pledge.

Songs 6:3  I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine.

capice (this is Italian for ....understand?)

nicknames is fun.     There's not much else to 'get' in my case, besides it's just the way the internet has evolved from the earliest adopters.  It's better to give one to yourself than to have somebody else give you one like 'annoying', 'string bean', or 'stinky'.

[winner08]

I just wanted to commet on why I chose winner08. We lost everything when Katrina hit. the house, the car and truck. all our clothes. When I say everything we owned that's is just what I mean, everything. Whatever we had on our backs when we evac is what we had when we got back to New Orleans. Aug. 05 is when we lost everything. It took 3 yrs just to get some since of stability. Some since of being safe again. Not just from the weather but just to have a place to call home and not living in a fema trailer. Anyway in 08 things started to get better. I said 08, this will be my yr. I found a home and bought a truck things started to look good. So that's why I use winner08, Its more than just a name, It has a very deep meaning to me. But I think the others are right when they say it just might have something to do with privacy issues.

[musicman]

My name is and always will be MusicMan.  As a kid I was called LittleMusic.  It is appalling that people can't reveal who they really are.  There's this one guy on the net that I'm familiar with who calls himself Hell No.  He's a blast but he must be really insecure to hide his true identity from the world. Here's the link to this guy's stuff.  http://hubpages.com/profile/Hell+No/hubtivity.   Notice how low his hub score is.  They must think he's some kind of looser.  Ha ha.  Perhaps he should try and be a little more orthodox.

hey Winner, so sorry to read of your experience. I am happy for you things are going better. To survive that and I only know what I saw on t.v. it looked horrendous.  Judy

[EKnight]

Since God is the cause of everything, it's safe to assume that He caused my parents to give me the name Eileen.  Therefore, my God-given name is.....Eileen 

As always,

I am "Ninny" because my grandchildren call me that! No big mystery here! I'm not a really "seasoned" internet user either, but you just learn as you go, I guess!

[Ninny]

Ha! Kenny my grandkids call my husband Papa, Pop, (or Poppy sometimes),You know according to what they want!! Our 11 year old grandson says, "Papa is made out of money, if we want something we could just pick out a piece of his hair and there's the money!" I told him, "If your Papa was made of money I would have taken him apart years ago!!" I also tell them this, "Pop's hair is getting kind of thin you'd better not take too much of it!" Haha! Grandkids are a hoot! When our little people want a video game or something they just call up their Pop and say, "Could you get me___" and it a few days it appears! Ninny is a different story, when they ask me for something I always say, "Well, you need to ask Papa for that!" heehee!

Kenny,
I am Phil3:10 because it is my favorite Bible verse. I think every lover of CHRIST should be able to quote and explain this verse.
