I used my full name when I first joined many years ago but due to the risk of giving too much away I changed it to what it is now n it's never been anything else. Some people have got me mixed up with another Jules tho our board names are different.

I only changed when another Carla appeared & promptly vanished.
Anyway this suits my wonderful pessimistic outlook! :)

I use a Cyber name as I wish to keep my identity private. I think the problem lies with being able to change it. If we chose one name and stuck to it it would work better...I seem to loose track of who I am talking to most of the time as I can't keep up with the name changes.......Maybe thats just me??? xxxx

Yes..... But.....remember..... we were all advised to use a cyber name for protection against ID fraud.

And it is a bit of fun as well.

I've only ever use my real name Arch.

I think the cyber names cause a lot of confussion , especially when they get changed a great deal.

In the early days of GR we use our real names, we all got on well, always looking forward to signing onto the chat rooms, but since we all changed to cyber names it seems to have gone down hill, why does the cyber names change things.
