Do you use your real name or a made up name?

[Jamborenium]

I used my nickname ((Nebu)) since I hate my real name​

 

[-Apples-]

I do not use my real name for my mayor or alts. Even if my name is gender-neutral, I don't like using my name on female characters. I also try to hide my identity, so I don't name the male characters my name either.

 

[P.K.]

Use a fake name since I'm not 100% comfortable with my real name.

 

[SpottyPup]

I use my real name for Animal Crossing, but that's the only game I do! On Pokemon I always use other names

 

[Lemon Loaf]

Used my real name for all of the earlier titles, but when New Leaf came out I was just finishing reading the Witcher books (at least the two that had been released in English) and figured I'd name myself after that. Kind of regret it. Doesn't really fit in Animal Crossing. Oh well.

 

[FancyThat]

I don't use my real name, I'm not keen on it. I used my nickname for my mayor in my main town.

 

[Alyx]

I use my real name for my main mayor in Mew, my gender-neutral name for a boy in Mew. I use a made up name for my mayor in Pokey.

 

[Batsu]

I use a nickname for my mayor since I don't like using my real name for games or anything like that, but my town name is based off of my real name.

 

[Baumren]

Kind of a mix of both.... Luann has always been my game nickname, but only because it's a fusion between my 2 real names that actually sounds like an actual one. So it's similar to what I'm actually called.

I tend to avoid using 100% invented names because I've learned from experience that even though I like them for that moment, I'll get tired of 'em quickly.

 

[ADanishMuffin]

I use my real name for all my games. (with the exception or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, because I can't think of anything good for my partner Pokemon :/)

I guess the reason behind this is that it feels a bit less personal to me if I don't use my real name, and that I can't think of anything good or creative.

 

[Twilight Sparkle]

I've always used my real name, using any other name else feels weird to me. Not just ACNL, used my real name for Pokemon and that stuffs.

 

[Geneve]

I used my real name. I have my villagers calling me various nicknames, though.

 

[Tap Dancer]

I've always used my real name. It makes me feel like I'm in the game.

 

[Fairytale]

Real name. It just feels like they are not talking to me if I use a different name. It is just weird, I have a 2nd copy where I use a ''fake'' name and that feels so strange. :/

My realname is Hannah, I tried my middle name for a change (Elise) but I'm not a huge fan of it.

 

[uncle]

I use my real name so I can relate to my character in the game better.

 

[fashions]

I used my real name. I play through too many games with a made up name or a name I wish I had, so I decided to change and use my real name. ^^'

 

[MetaTriforce]

I use my real name for my mayor and my storage files are named after characters from games that I like.

 

[ccKyuubi]

Real name Like a boss! Ahem, Mayor. I used to use a screen name but I just use my real name now in games.

 

[Becca617]

real

 

[Bui]

I never use my real name for my characters in any game.
