The "Bladeborn" bit might raise a few eyebrows, considering it comes across like a heavy metal stage name or suchlike, but "Gildan" is for all intents and purposes the online identity that I've painstakingly constructed for myself and I've operated under it for years now. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that there are more people who know me as Gildan then there are that know me by "my actual name that I will certainly not be divulging now to a collection of random internet strangers, no sirree!".

So yeah, I wouldn't mind being called Gildan - I have conversations now (the out loud kind, thanks to Ventrilo servers and Guild Wars) wherein I'm addressed as such, so I already know that answering to that name doesn't feel weird at all.

I've already got an email, facebook and a few other things under the name "Bruno Thepig". Honestly, I'd be quite amused. After I got used to being Bruno instead of Luke...

Kailan to Riobux...I'm not sure it would matter since it'd just be from one strange name to another.

I'm actually okay with this, I think it's a pretty good screen name and it wouldn't be too awkward to use in real life. I went by the name Van for quite a while anyways so it may be more nostalgic than anything. I also got called VanQ (pronounced Vank) over vent on most MMOs and I think that sounds pretty sweet.

Awesome, that's how I'd feel. As any sane person would do in my situation, I would persue a life of heroism. Spandex and all.

Not the worst thing that could happen, since a lot of people call me "Sunnie" IRL anyway, because they got to know me by my screen name (except the numbers. Damn you, nickstealer, you aren't even active!)

EDIT: Hey, there is no user named Sunrider anymore! Damn it, I wanna change names. ;_;
Don't fret, user! If you go to your profile tab, then click on "Update Account Information" under "Profile Options" you can change your name. You can only do it once, though.

I'd actually enjoy it since people will call me professor all the time even though james isn't my real first or last name.

this is the name I use in online RPs anyway, so I'm fine with being called it by everyone else.
