What do you prefer to be called on the site?

[Arwen]

Arwen. Ar.

My given name is Stephanie. That's what my mother and father named me. Some folks still prefer that over Arwen and that's okay.

Just do not shorten it to Stephie. I hate that with a passion. Steph I can handle but Stephie sends me right over the edge.

And, just so you know, I don't think it's cute to tease me about it. At all. One of my triggers and you will get a curt response. If you are lucky, I'll send it back channel.

Of course, darlin' is always good.

[BullDog]

BullDog, Bully or Jules. I also don't mind other terms of endearment when they are good natured.

As to my gender I am butch and/or butch woman. I do not use female identified butch- which I find to be very jargony and seems to be used because of male identified being used. So for those who prefer female identified butch that's fine and I will refer to you that way, but it does not refer to me.

[Leigh]

Since this thread was created, I think its as good a time as any to mention what it is that we prefer to be called. I've used Braedon for a long while and thats what everyone online knows Me as, but since I will soon be transitioning I have chosen a permanent male name that I will change it to legally when I can afford it:

Matthew Alexander

Those who prefer Braedon can still call Me that, though I'd prefer Matthew or Matt if that can be arranged. Other then that, I'm all good as long as you don't call Me late for dinner

[ravfem]

i'm rav, ravvie (ravvie poo to Pink), rev to the typonese

rhonda is my given name.
i don't really care what you call me, as long as it's not mean.
i'm easy like that

[betenoire]

Not relevant to this site, but I wanted to put out there that I have a coworker who calls me "Brandy-Girl" and it makes me want to slash her tires.

[cane]

Don't really care as long as it's not female oriented or mean. But how about Cane...?

What song? I just woke up so I have no idea what song. It's either the song my father named me after, or my new smash hit "stop humping up on me", though.

[Abigail Crabby]

On site - most call me Abi, Abby or Abbylicious

In PM's usually Sunny as that's the nick I go by.

I love how Ms Snow calls me Ms Abby

In chat - we change names so often I forget who calls me what lol

In pvt here I'm Kitten, Darlin, Babygirl, Blondie, or Princess and that's just by my friends

Couple of folx know my birth name, but know if they use it I will hunt em down and tickle them to destruction

To some of us female and women are different.

I said that was my personal preference, and that for myself do not want to be referred that way and I don't like the term. I never heard of female identified or male identified until I came online. I also said I would use it for those who do like it.

Ana
A
Bitch/Whore
And whatever a select few wish to call me....

It comes off as judgmental and intolerant and that is not the kind of space we are trying to create here.

I said that is how it feels to me. I also said I would refer to others how they want to be called. The topic of the thread is how do you like to be called on the site. People constantly refer to me as female identified and I am clarifying that I would prefer people didn't refer that way to me. I don't consider it to be an umbrella term that I fall under.

[Arwen]

I've decided that y'all can call me a few other things.

Never late for dinner
Friend indeed
Goddess Arwen Spectacularia
Empress of All She Surveys...and then some
Purveyor of Perfectly Palpable Porn
Poodle Pillow Princess

I think there are still a few that refer to me as RodeoClown, which was my nickname for a long time, but now there are only a few that use it. A couple of people have the priviledge of calling me pookie, kitten, or muffin.

He calls me Bella, Princess, BabyGirl, and a few other pet names.

I too really don't care what people call me as long as its not mean. My real name is Sarah, but it's rarely used online. I'm kinda fond of Rain and Eeyore and am not really sure why when I was choosing online names I didn't have something with Eeyore in it. But its all good...

I like Goddess Arwen Spectacularia. It is a long signature though and a mouthful.

[tuffboi29]

Tuff is all i answer to

[waxnrope]

You can get Linus to change your screen name if you're not happy with the one you picked.

[turasultana]

i get turasultana, tura, tura tura.

all fine. Hey sultana is fine too.

Laura is my actual name. that's fine by me too. although if i don't know you and you say it, i'll probably totally forget that I posted it and be confused for a minute.

[Soft*Silver]

S works fine. Strappie was calling me Softie in the chat room which was a new one for me. Like Wax, it doesnt matter here. I prefer not to be called by my given or nick names on the site, unless its in private. A real transgression of boundaries happened on another site when my given and nicknames were used in public posts aimed at harrassing me. Its amazing how web bullies can find cyber ways to maim....
