LarryEA Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Maybe it's my age, my wife says I don't listen, but what ever it is, I don't remember everyone's name. All I have to go by when replying to a post is my memory and the 'login ID' I hate leaving the post to check on the 'posters' name. So, I've been trying to come up with a solution. 1) Do I refer to them with there login ID and is that OK? Take CurtisIntarsia as an example... I would assume his name is Curtis... maybe not. CurtisIntarsia says his name is Steve. Figure that out. 2) Use a Generic Name. This seems a bit out of sync. Like do I say: "That's funny Tommy." Tommy would be Ok for the British but maybe not for Frank or Marg. "That's funny Toots." Again NOT FOR Marg! "That's funny Amigo, Pal, Bro, John Doe, Jane Doe, Jones, Joe (Bag, College, Cool). So I decided I'm calling 'you by your LOGIN ID' That OK? Edited February 24, 2015 by LarryEA AlfrediaMum and Rob Roy 2 Quote

JustLarry Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Larry, I often have hard time remembering names. However, for some reason I can always remember yours. It is as though I have been using the name for years and years. Larry wombatie, LarryEA and Rob Roy 3 Quote
Steve Curtis Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Larry, That is fine, Curtis is may last name, Steve is my first. My son in the Navy use to call me Daddy, now he calls me Curtis. My folks around here say isn't that disrespect? I tell them he is not, He is around so many people on the ship, he is so use to calling every one by there last names.

Birchbark Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 I'm fine with Birchbark, i'm always impressed when someone remembers my name tho, here on the board its not so hard to look at the signature of the person usually, but in live chat its rough to remember everyones names. I don't think anyone expects a person to remember all members names. Wow would be tough. Russell LarryEA and Rob Roy 2 Quote
jerry1939 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 You have the best chance of getting my to respond to either "JERRY' or "HEY YOU." LarryEA 1 Quote
wombatie Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I personally like using first names but I don't care what you call me. It would be good if everyone put their first name at the bottom of their screen ( in the signature section in My Settings ) that way it would be easier to find. But Larry I have a problem with names, faces I am fine with but names come and go. Marg Edited February 24, 2015 by wombatie LarryEA 1 Quote

I was politely informed my badge was given to me,(due to my age), so I didn't FORGET my name. Larry, I don't care what you call me as long as you don't call me too early. .
