Would you?
I'm curious.
It started when my friends from school started asking for my number and/or skype username. When I told it to them, they didn't question "Ruby" at first, but once they got added they saw that I do not use my real name on skype, as it is currently set to "Ruby | Sacred."
So they asked me why it was so, so I began to explain my whole situation with being a total techie, and not wanting to use my real name online. I told them, that I "would probably respond to anyone who called out, 'Hey, Ruby!'" or anything of the like.
So of course, they tested this out. In the hallway at passing time, I heard someone shout out, "Ruby!" And I responded.
If someone called you by your common username in real life, would you respond too?

XD Some of my babies already do, since I used to be on FH with about three of my very, very close friends. Plus, irl, everyone just calls me Kitkat at times since I will admit.

I'm addicted to that delicious Chocolate on Wafer. If anyone asks me anything relationship status wise, I just say. "I'm married to my kitkat. He's my hubby. c:"

'Cause you know.

I'm weird like that man <3

But no one calls me by this full name lolthat'djustbeamouthful.

Oh this is really cool topic. I will keep eye on this. I also added real life friends to skype where am named as Kate they also asked me why. I explained them like you but they didn't test it out ;)
But I am pretty sure if anyone would call me "Kate, Wolfkate or nicekind" I would react/respond to that.
Really cool topic Ruby :3 floof for you.
shhh noone knows me

I'd probably be a little freaked out haha...like in my head I'd be thinking O_o how do you know me? Stalkers...

I don't think I'd respond though xD.... I'd be more like "What? Lord what? Suragawhat? I know no such name." -Slowly creeps away >.>-

Really only good friends from here know my real identity so I wouldn't mind responding to Sura in real life if they called me that but no one else... Cause I'm a ninja.

Pshh, I dunno really. I'm known as Tachiru around the interwebz, and I recently changed my Skype name to Tachiru, so if someone shouts "Tachi", "Rinny" or "Tari" I would probz turn around. x3 Since I live in Croatia, most people don't even use "usernames" or even know Feral Heart exists, let alone anime. (<3) So I'm the weird hipster kid who spends the whole day playing one game.

xD Random fact about my name, is that I actually came to my original name : kitkatgirl, all because of being called Kitkat irl.

Strangely, I have allot of nicknames, two being Kitkat and Misty xD (long story on Misty owo)
