I tend to use nicknames for non-ljers, but probably not so much due to reasons of paranoia and more because I have a feeling it's easier for my flist to follow who I'm talking about...give them a descriptive name (SportsGuy, f'rex) and it's easier to keep track who I'm talking about. :D Although there must be a certain element of anonymity about it too...I only seem to use real names when they're pretty common (such as John). As to my own name, I go by Blink exclusively online...but that's because my real name is so unusual I'd rather not have it connected to my online persona!
