Online nicknames

I really like the concept of nicknames online. Being able to name yourself as whatever you want. We don't choose our names when we are born so this is a way to do that. Mix your real name with something else or choose something completely different, it's fun.

I feel like my nickname online has become my third name (I have two names as most native Spanish speakers do), because I spend a lot of time on the internet interacting and presenting myself with this name that I dont feel weird if people call me like that. When I first started to interact with people online I felt a little weird, it felt like a fake name, but is been years now and I'm used to my online friends calling me by my nickname. Its just natural when you spend time together, like in person after being friends for some time you made up a nickname for people you're close to, for me is the same.

I like my birth name, but I also like this new one I created. Sometimes I think that I should have used another nickname for my blog, because at this point, this nickname feels like my real name.

Thanks for reading :)
