fretmeister Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Equity and other bodies like that insist you have a name that isn't being used by anyone else to avoid confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 For about 10 years in the 80's and 90's I played with a drummer who was using a false name for tax purposes. I only found out after the band broke up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicko Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 My name is Nick. My surname begins with O. So its not really a pseudonym. I wrote an on line blog for a few years and in some cases was critical of people and companies that might have caused some problems and assumed a pseudonym for obvious reasons. It didn't go down when well when one of our friends stumbled on the blog and told Mrs Nicko. On the blog she was called Genghis. I eventually got bold enough to post photos on the blog that would enable people to identify me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzoid Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Started out as my first initial, wife's first initial, first kid's first initial and second kid's first initial.

fftc Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1505404322' post='3371686'] Actually, I used to use my full name, but after reading a thread as to the origins of our usernames I realised perhaps I should have been a bit more security conscious and changed it- but then I'm on Facebook, so what difference does it really make? [/quote] I use a pseudonym on Facebook as well! I'd say it's more important to use one on there than on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
