What's in a name?

[gerg]

So on IRC we just had this discussion that apparently a lot of people think of me as "gerg" in their head and not as "Greg", so I decided to make a poll. Go!

Poll A greg by any other name

Sorry. I know very consciously that your name is Greg, and I generally am excellent at knowing people's RL names and keeping it all very straight in my head, and thinking of them as their RL names.

But Greg in my head is a totally different person... I know it's your name, too, but I will pretty much always refer to you as gerg. :p

Of course, I think of you as Greg (and actually, it took me a while to even realize you sn was Gerg) because I used to know you irl :)

So, the real question is...do you think of me as octopusouphut or Tracy? (lol)

"gerg", mostly, although in person I'll say "Greg" sometimes if not around internet people. "gerg" is funner to say, though.
