Name conversion?

Mr Mxyzptlk

I've been considering this for a while now.

Would you guys like to convert from using screen names (eg. Mr Mxyzptlk) to your real names (or an alias) in the sim (eg. Liam Camps)?

I prefer to see scorecards with actual names on it as I think it both looks better and definitely more realistic. So what do you all think? Stick with the screen names or convert to real names?

I'd get a little confused with everyone calling me my real name rather than my real name - I only really get called Daniel online when it's someone who's taken the time to get to know me. Personally, I'd rather Loony BoB, but if we have to submit our real names I guess I'd adapt. But it should definitely be an option - I think it was when I joined, not sure about the older chaps.

If we do go ahead with this, though, please can you list who is who? I still don't know who's who in my own team some of the time!

I think it is a good idea. However, it might be hard to find everyones real names and remember them when you are used to calling them something else or you are knew

Definitely agree... would look that bit more refined, especially with a few middle initials thrown in. Not that it would affect me...

Well my name is David Kearlsey and my CW Black name is David Kearsley so it wont change much for me :) but yes i like the idea that every one will be the same.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind converting to my real name to be honest. I wasn't Master Blaster on the rebel tour, so yeah, I wouldn't mind at all.

I like Neils idea of the initials, makes it look more like a real cricket scorecard. Since i already use my real name it doesn't really bother me...

Oh and Neil love your initials :D

Sure, I'd like it to be changed - but only if you can force the simulator to print the "ø" in H Mørk, mind ;)

(no initials here, sadly)
