I use my real name when I'm sarging.
Cinnamon is my inner-game name. I had just gotten my hair cut, styled it myself and put on some make-up. I was wearing my favorite red shirt.
I looked at myself in the mirror and was struck by how fabulous I looked.
I'm a big fan of the Spice Girls and Ginger Spice was always my favorite, but without red hair I couldn't be Ginger. I have dark brown hair, so Cinnamon was a natural choice.
The name makes me feel a lot better about myself, so I use it on myself. But using a pseudonym on men screams slut, which is something we women need to avoid, so I don't use it on my targets.

Cinnamon

There are _forums_ I use my real name on. Monkey is like any other internet nickname for me, no different than the millions of others I use. For a very short time, I toyed with the idea of going out and using the pseudonym, but decided against it for a few reasons.

First: if I _do_ get a girl pregnant, I'd like to know about that and take steps to be responsible about it. I grew up without a father myself. That's not a ton of fun and personally, I want to avoid it with my kids.

Second: It sounds ridiculous to tell people I'm "Monkey." Especially since some of the guys I go out with also have silly pirate nicknames. It's especially strange to be introduced to Monkey, Ecko and Charisma in the same group of people. Consider it peacocking. When everyone else around me has a silly pirate nickname, it's refreshing to have a real name to grab onto.

Third: I'm not fake. When you meet me in person, you meet _me_. There are aspects of my personality that have been practiced and refined, but those aspects were always present. You won't be meeting a Mystery Clone or a Style Clone or a Juggler Clone or a Tyler Durden Clone. I'm none of those men, and I act very much like myself. So why would I want another person's name attached to that? It's not like my real name is my slave name or anything; I have nothing to take back. My name isn't horrible, it's perfectly normal (until you see how it's spelled). I have no reason to go by anything else.

i have a couple nicknames

Phoenix is one that gets used a lot, as well as a couple greek ones, or pagan names

When I was little my gramma called me "lucky" - it stuck, I've got a tattoo on my hip that says "lucky" - bc you'd have to be damn lucky to see it - Lucky was the name my whole life... and my myspace
www.myspace.com/getluckynyc - which really ment GET ME, NYC not like, get laid nyc

BUT!

I'm for damn sure not going to use "Lucky" in a bar/set, it puts people on guard, they think you're running game even if you're not!

So I went by Jaxx, - then I did an interview with Pickuppodcast (www.pickuppodcast.com episode #75) and Jordan used my real name - Stacey

Hence forth know as... Stacey Jaxx

... Only Jaxx when out, it's what comes natural, people like it, relate to it, never ask me what its short for blah blah blah

How can you guys justify using a different name in person is creating a seperate persona?

That's like saying people that use a nickname instead of there birth name are using an alter-ego.

Who cares what name you use, as LONG as you are showing your true SELF in pick up it's not creating a alter-ego persona. Canned material and routines does just that though. I completely disagree with most of the points you guys are making.

"Hey, They call me Beschatten" is not creating an alter-ego. It infact builds attraction because it leaves the girl guessing what you're real name is. My thoughts are she has to EARN my name, just like my attention and affection.

This is all personal preference and what name you use does and should not matter.

He he, you realize the irony of it right... You write this in a PUA forum dedicated to teach people that luck has nothing to do with it, only skill...

Dont take this the wrong way, I just found it hilarious!

Ezo

My name wouldn't pass as a nick name I could use. I think it would come across as a little shady if I introduced myself as "Hi I'm Hopeless Romantic"...just doesn't feel right

The only time I use this name is when I talk to my wing or others who know about the community, otherwise i just use my own name. As for In field, it really depends on what I feel like that day

Yet there was a far more famous or possibly infamous study http://www.age-of-the-sage.org/psycholo ... iment.html that states a person told to do something by a person in who has real authority is likely to do so. Soldiers in war follow orders or people die. War crimes may come from such orders, but it's not necessarily the name of the soldier that is the primary factor. It's who gives the order, and whether there is real or percieved authority behind that order which is paramount in such situations. (IMO The most important sentence in the linked study is at the end of the 7th paragraph. Which was true regardless of all variations in the study.) I doubt the validity of the latter study to support your argument, as there are many other more important factors that are at work.

However the former study which you site is the basis for the belief in multiple personality disorder, and psychologists still haven't come to any real agreement that it exists despite real physiological differences between the personalities which exhibit themselves in a single patient.

This digresses a bit from the topic, but to get back on track. I have multiple nicknames all of which were given to me by other people. One of which I use as my Avatar name on this forum. I generally act the same regardless of which name other people pin on me, but I can see how it could be a benefit or a hindrance in a person's quest to be better with women. I generally use my real name when in the field.

However, if I'm out with a friend who calls me by a different nickname I will use the name he uses to avoid long explanations like this one.

I'm still deciding for my PUA name.. Teague sounds cool but I don't live in an englihs speaking country, so it'd be difficult to use. Also it doesn't connect with me in any way.

I'm thinking in Achilles so far. Not for what I am, but for the levels I want my skills to have.
