Pretty late for a comment, but I meant to leave one then never got around to it.

I definitely empathize with you on this – when I first started blogging I felt very ‘uncomfortable’ with my blogger name, like it didn’t really fit, or wasn’t really me. But the more I wrote, the more I felt like my name was really *mine*, and now I’m increasingly thinking of myself as Wilhelmina.

Also started blogging about when I had to deal with some uncomfortable relationship things and self-esteem things, so my name is also a mark of rebuilding confidence and all of that.

Jack is a nice name. Half Jack is a great song, too.

This is pretty interesting. As newly minted sex bloggers, my girlfriend and I have found it somewhat awkward at first using the fake names we chose. Though that may be a product of the fact that our pseudonyms are totally different than our real names (Dylan in honor of Dylan Thomas and Ella in honor of Ella Fitzgerald. A couple of our personal heroes.) I can’t say yet how different Dylan and Ella will be from the real us, though I think we’re hoping they just become me and my girl with different titles. But they may begin to live on their own, as Jack has.

I completely agree with you Jack. Autumn Seave was just a psuedonym fo me when I first started sex blogging and writing erotica. But now, that is who I am when I write stories, blog posts, etc. If I get an email where the person knows my real name (like a client from my text writing business) it confuses me at first. And I don’t like anyone to use my real name when I concerns my “other” life.

Wow – just reading all your stories I realise how lucky I am that when I was born my parents decided to name me little miss trouble, just so I’d never need to choose a ‘sex blog’ name for myself. Sometimes it can get embarrassing, of course – but good ol’ trouble can handle it

Okay, I didn’t know the pre-Jack Jack, but definitely like the Jack of the past few weeks – he’s hot *and* lovely all at the same time!

Wow. I didn’t really think of Ursula as being my alter-ego, but she talks about things that make The Real Me blush so I guess she kinda is the fun side of me. And no one but my husband knows about the blog–though he almost never reads it–so it allows me a certain amount of expression that I can’t get as a teacher in my everyday life. Being Ursula Brangwen also lets me embrace the childish side of me that always wanted to live in the world of books. Nerdy, but fun. And maybe a little saucy. It really is like a Lawrence novel.

so hear you on this one. I look at what used to be a cover of anonymity as now my alter-ego … developed into something I probably never would have gone for on my own, but it gave me a lot of freedom to explore in ways that I just love. I’m so grateful for that.

Hello! Nice to meet you Jack. hehe

Good post. Bit schizophrenic this whole “anonymous” blogging can be, eh? My blogging name, Eliot Bodem, is nothing like my actual name. Truth be told, I rather like the name Eliot and wish it was really mine. Oh, well. It’s fun to use the name for my blog anyway.

@ellie, you’ve called me out on being different as “Jack” as opposed to regular old me. I kind of get a kick out of that.

We both like you! We could have a pretty easy threeway!

I stopped thinking of Ellie as another person a long time ago but that sort of thing comes with time. As someone that has known you since before you were Jack, I like both of you.

I totally know what you mean. BBG has taken on a life of her own and I always thought of her as the cooler, braver, hotter version of ME. Lately, the line is very thin between the two.
