I never see any users with their first name in real life as their knight name.

You know, players like John or Chris or Michael.
One exception to this is Nick, of course.

I nabbed my first name knight somehow in the beginning of Summer 2011. I never knew I was actually one of a kind since you can't duplicate names, and even more surprised that no other Keelan in the world had taken it first.

Besides all the names being taken...

Even if my first name was actually available for usage, I wouldn't name my knight that since I like to keep RL and internet names (and sometimes lives) separate from each other (as well as a whole slew of other reasons).

Given that though, my username is roughly based off my name, so best of both worlds, perhaps.

my RL name is jennifer. My

my RL name is jennifer. My character is dancinjen for dancing jennifer. Jen is too short for a knight name... i don't like jenny or jenni or jenn or jenna. Most of the time my name is taken anywhere i go. I don't mind telling my RL name because i've already had someone online stalk me and break in my house with me in it... and I was being paranoid about sharing my info online... after that I've said screw it. They can find me anyways. So.. eh. lol.

There is a Chris... he's actually a really popular player but he's inactive in SK right now. I know a few people in game that use their RL name as their knight name.

From my observations you use

From my observations you use the word learning loosely. You should hold your breath before releasing to help steady your shot.

The most effective way to shoot a bow and arrow is with a shotgun.

I bet a lot of IRL character names were taken early on, and most of the players who took them aren't playing anymore.

Well if we are on topic...

My real name is Jayson with a german last name, and I'm korean. Go figure that one out. XD

But my username is a variation of a pet nickname given to me by the one girl i truly loved with all my heart, and was my fiance. Sadly she's no longer among the living, But I still hold the nickname in her deepest honor.

lol

I use my first name when I can. But I rarely can because two letters is rarely enough for any system. It sure gets tiring to be told your name is invalid all the time. My nickname of four letters is almost always taken because of its popularity (due to a game). So when I get it, people assume that I am a fan and don't seem to realize that my name IS my name lol. When I started this game, my old default handle when I couldn't or didn't want to use my name was also taken. /shrug

Not Jim Dale

Not Jim Dale, suggests that Jim Dale uses Jim Dale's name.

Also I have been using the name oolon, on the net and IRL for about 20 years now, more people know me by that than my given name too, particularly as some of my family use my first and others use my second given name, I kind of feel oolon is my true name.

My full name

My full name is too long for most places (34 characters), so I go with the short "Ocean Prince" instead. That way, I am still a Prince.
