    My parents.

    I post under my real name both out of nostalgia for usenet (the original federated forum) where it was customary to use your real name in Germany. And to be able to post identifying information without fear of being “discovered”.

    With enough data points and a little investigation it is ridiculously easy to identify a single user. My wife demonstrated that to me a few years back when she identified some anonymous bloggers and turned out to be correct. Otherwise I might be tempted to post really private stuff under the misguided impression that I am anonymous.

    I knew I loved the name Rose, and wanted to try exploring it as a part of my identity in any way possible, especially when I wasn’t really using it fully as a name yet.

    Turns out, many of us have done this. I have run into so many variants of “Rose Thorn”, and like 90% of the time it’s been a fellow transwoman.

    it used to be John gray.

    because John doe is some unknown person, and the color gray can be like for something unknown, was my logic

    then I shorten it to jgray and someone online keep calling me Jay.

    so here I am

    doesn’t take a genius why there’s 91 at the end.

    Wishful thinking. I was planning on living in a camper traveling Europe after completing my masters degree. Ended up getting an accidental daughter instead. Proceeded to have another two children with same girl and wanted to make her my wife for life. Getting a divorce instead and can not travel because small children need their dad and i love them all.

    Because of Sid Meyer’s Pirates on C64. I named my char Angus McAnge, a mix of my real name’s letters plus Angus (Yes, huge AC DC fan back then). It stuck with me as a user name. Over the years I’m left with mcange. ARR
