Default NAMES in your signatures at least?

After going to a meet up this weekend, I realized that many listers use
"User names", without including their real first name anywhere. So when you meet people, and they are known as "944Rulz", it makes for a strange encounter!

My idea is everyone should use their first name somewhere in the signature, so we don't have to post responses like "Nice car, BigBalls944", etc!

Who agrees??

Pretty funny, but true. I introduced myself to a new owner I found Saturday... went something like this...

Hey man, nice ride, you ever been on rennlist?
Yeah man!
Cool, I'm 75ohm... err... yeah, my name is...

whenever i go to a car meet or anything, people talk to me for about 2 seconds, and then they go-

"OH MAN! 951OBSESSION!"


or "hey! you must be 951Obsession!!"


it still takes people that know me a few times before they start saying "Juan".


yeah, i'm TOTALLY an internet celebrity.

Its funny how most people don't guess mine automatically. Like there are LOTS of Blue S2s floating around or something? HAHA. Usually I exchange names/meet someone and then we add in what the user name was to make a connection. Thats usually when a lot of people have the "DUH!" expression if we are standing anywhere near my car.

I find it easier to rememeber names when I can place them against something like a Renn-ID. I don't seem to remember names as well for all the PCA events except for the people i really know well, or see often.

Yes, I agree, at least a nickname or initials, if they really want to be confidential. But if they REALLY want to be confidential, let them be. And though I don't think it's necessary, I also put my age, so people know where I'm coming from, etc.
