    Just wanted to ask, how were you called at school?

    For some weird reason the boys in our class called each other by surnames mostly.
    The girls were called by name. A select few had nicknames derived from their names or surnames.

    Were boys in your class calling each other by surnames too?

    By first name. However, as the first name is widely open to interpretation as regards pronunciation, there were several versions of it

    Yeah, I knew someone named Ishmael. He was called Isreal, Izzy, Izmeal, and anything else but his given name. His family called him Mael but at school he would answer to anything.

    I was called a bunch of different names: Obay, Big O, Osiris, Big Turk, The Guru, etc.

    Too many to name.

    I was speaking of friends outside internet. I don't think you can be a friend with someone strictly just on the internet. Doesn't work that way for me, I need to know the person in person. Avatar is from Indian mythology.

    Only my family calls me Sam, though they have other nicknames for me as well.

    Everyone else knows me only by my real first name.

    I just assumed S.A.M. stood for Smart Assed Muslim?

    Shit, will that get me banned? It's not an insult. I really thought that.

    Vega is probably one of those weird folks who think that knowing a person's name gives them some strange power over that person.
