Nicknames and Pet names
Let the other person know that you would prefer to be known by the handle you
use or even better, you could tell the person to call you a pet name but let the
person know that it is indeed a pet name, because at a later date, if the
relationship really blossoms it doesn’t look nice if you have to say something
like, “Gee, I’m sorry, but my name isn’t really Janice, it is Heptullah, I guess
I lied to you.”
The best thing in this case would be to let your self be known by the name of
some celebrity. You could call yourself Cinderella or Pocahontas or Archie, or
Betty or Veronica. The chatting has now begun and you can start exchanging
information. Keep to the general and stay away from the specific.
