Thread: Usernames versus real names

Off topic, but name related. Why do so many wives call their husbands by their full given names regardless of the nicknames which is how the guys refer to themselves? It's Robert, not Bob; it's Stephen, not Steve; it's Charles, not Chuck; it's Richard, not Dick; etcetera, not etc.

My wife only calls me "Benjamin" when I do something stupid.

For few times my 1st lady has taken good rpm and called me something that can't be translated. Lucky so as this is a gentleman site.

If anyone cares, my God given name is Kelly.

Well, when I first registered long time ago, Bruno was already taken by our mod from Belgium, so I picked up Leon as a short and easy nickname. "Leon" was a movie I had just seen previously and since I liked so much, why not use it as the forum nickname?

Your Portuguese friend, Bruno

My dear Leon/Bruno:

Forget Valentino. That photo in your avatar is actually you after a great shave with a Filarmonica. Handsome devil of a Portuguese gentleman, what?

Regards,

Obelit, a handsome Assyrian.
