    Always Tom's fault, for everything.

    Fullmetalbabe's real name? Oh, yes, it is! Nice name, too.

    Hmm...well, my username is always my nickname (sometimes spelled differently), unless I'm feeling a change is needed. Madyy is spelled differently from my username from a few years ago, which was Maddy. I thank one of my closest friends (in real life) for giving me that nickname (spelling) on MySpace a year ago. My real name is Madelyn. I would never give out my last name (security & the length - 10 letters - it's everywhere).

    On my own communities, I always use my first name. On other forums, it depends. Sometimes I'll use my first name, other times I'll use my username. I never use my last name though.

    Me either. At most, it will be my last name's initial.

    Savage, it's a shame that you couldn't come up with anything "creative"... :frown:

    The funny part about my name is that gives me the same giggles as people trying to figure out how to pronounce Setsou!

    As you can tell, my name is very hard to pronounce.

    That is what I think of every time I read it. My only other guess is that you're full of metal.

    You made me lol!

    Umm, as I said on my intro, I am an anime freak. FullMetalBabe[username] came from the anime [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullmetal_Alchemist"]FullMetal Alchemist[/ame] which started as a chatango name[flash chat] and basically converted into my personality.
