Thanks for the info but I don't think I was observant enough to notice you were posting your name 2 different ways.

I presumed most people weren't.. but I received an email asking me about it, so thought I would also explain in public!!!
I'm not even sure why I distinguish between work and home *L*

I catch myself sometimes starting to sign with my real name instead of my posting name. I'm sure some day it will happen.

The distinction is normal. You're "laying low" at work.

This *is* my real name *l*
The worst for me, every now and again I will send a professional work email, and sign it
"Nikki xxx"
You do NOT sign emails to the IT director with some kisses on the end *L*

You only start? That's pretty good. I actually do it. So I have a whole standardized excuse on why I sometimes call myself Dinah. lol.
Oh heavens. I remember the time I made that error with my therapist. He was enormously alarmed! "So... Would you like me to call you Dinah?" (a bit too calmly).

Dinah
I can only imagine what your T must have been thinking. lol!!! Does this mean that Dinah is not your real name? If not, I'm surprised, I assumed it to be so and what is the significance of your posting name?

No, Dinah isn't my real name. It has no real significance, except it's a name I thought suited me. :)

Thank you for the clarification. I guess you learn something new every day. I assumed when a poster uses an actual name, that it is their real name. I should not be so quick to make these assumptions in the future.
