Well, I just copy/pasted this from where I posted it before, lol.
My real name is Emily and I have about 50 nicknames which correspond to that. I don't try to come up with anything based on it for websites, though, as there's been an explosion of people named Emily within the last decade. I used to be unique
...and here's some more crap no one cares about. My last name sounds like a girl's first name, so people who don't know me well try to call me by that name all. the. time. It gets rather irritating. (It's not the fact that they're calling me by my last name--it's that they think my last name IS my first name, and get all smart-ass like "no what's your LAST name" when I tell them it. Hmm.) I like people knowing me online first better, because they will never ever call me by my last name thinking that it's my first when they don't even know what it is!
