I have a thing against online nicknames

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Um, but Nilly is her name. (right?)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Oh.
Fuck.
Yes, my day is going great.
Sorry, Nilly, I had no idea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For the record, not that I can imagine myself whedonesqued, but "ita" is grounds for brains smashing -- not mine own, and not with a bat.

I un "Nilly"'ed Nilly, because I'm great, and can't write grammatically correct sentences.

Kevin, just putting it out there...
The name someone chooses for themself online is for all intents and purposes, you know, THEIR NAME. So it's not about you and your issues at all. Yeah?

My grammar makes me laugh.

Allyson, I agree to some extent, but my posts are my posts, so I reserve the right to style them as I like.

This. Having been online for a very long time, I can assure you that my long-lasting online names are ones that I occasionally use when thinking of myself in third person, and answer to in real life.
Also, if I were to use my actual factual first name as a login anywhere (which I don't, on account of it being too uncommon), it's just the sort of name that people would assume wasn't a name, and might encase in scare quotes, causing me to go all ragetastic about it.
My various writing and posting names are a part of my identity, some more closely rooted in my everyday life than others, but they're all me.
