I use my real first name, too. It's actually quite nice here, since I'm the only one unsing that name on the boards. "Julia" is such a common name and everywhere I go (school, university,...) there are usually at least two or three other "Julia's". I used to dislike my name, because there were always so many others, but I've gotten used to it. Now I enjoy and really appreciate it, when I'm the only "Julia" around.
