Names (for you, not me)

So I talk a lot about my friends in here. And it gets old having username after username, plus the html to do that interrupts my typin' flow, so I tend to just use names. However, a lot of my friends either use a pseudonym online, or go by a name completely different from their birth name, or just prefer a nickname or something when being talked about online, or whatever. Thus, this post.

If you have a name you prefer I call you on this journal, leave me a comment with it. All the comments are screened, though I guess it won't be a secret what people want to be called if I start calling them that, but whatever. This goes for anyone. (If you'd prefer a different name than I know but don't think it'd catch on, fuck that noise, I'll still call you by if it you want -- you have no idea how many of my friends have changed their name after I knew them, and I've done that to all of you (and might do it again >.>) so uh, yeah.)

If you don't give a crap or prefer the name I've been calling you, you don't have to comment. Also, if you want, you can throw in preferred pronouns, but I am relatively certain I know all of those for my friends? (I could be wrong, however.)
