frank, do you go by any other names?
Oh, plenty! I've changed my name to "Frank" because I thought this was an easy name to remember since it's the first and simplest word of a set of two words. It's the one you use when someone calls you by a nickname, right? (I guess some people call me "Nick" instead.) But I've also changed my last name from "Nelson" because I thought it was funny that my friends were all named Nelson and I should make fun of them a bit. (My first name is actually Francis.) I sometimes use "Nostalgebraist" because I like this word and I think it's a nice way to refer to me.
Other names include, but are not limited to:
A bunch of anime names (the most recognizable being "Kobeni").
Some of my more obscure nicknames: "The Mantis" (because of a certain movie), "The Fuzzyface" (the first time I ever used a pseudonym I was just playing around, because I'm really good at coming up with stupid things), "Bambi" (it's actually a really stupid name, but it's a nickname) and "Hairy" (because I have a lot of hair that's not necessarily the result of a growth disorder, and I always feel like a hairy person, even when I'm not.) And more.
I also have a set of pseudonyms related to the Frank idea. There is "Humble", which is when I am very confident about something, and "Boring", which is my opposite in every respect.
(This is an interesting idea, isn't it, that the word "boring" can be a positive thing?)
Of course you don't have to do all of the above if you don't want to, but it is fun to experiment with it sometimes, you know?
