cat 262460 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 I am REALLY glad this thread came up! Just for the record...if you are going to use a made up name make it something unusual. Today I had an instance of already having 3 clients with the same name, and a 4th popped up. I didn't recognize it as new, he didn't say "Hi, we've never met so can you send some details?" like most do. He simply said "What's your schedule like?". I had no internet over the weekend and handled my entire weeks booking via blackberry so I wasn't watching the email addys. Last night when I looked at my book, I had two of the same guys booked back to back. I assumed I had made an error because the other two were not available this week so I checked my confirmation email and found the second appointment and assumed it was happening at 1:30 instead of 10:30. I figured I must have made a mistake and thought I had 3 hours available. I called a repairman to come and take care some things and an hour later my buzzer is ringing. I asked him to wait 5 minutes, but he assumed it meant 15 minutes which I understand and decided he didn't have time to wait so he left. I threw my handyman out toolbox and all and then sat twiddling my thumbs. Then I went back and started to look and figured it out. I now have four Johh XXXXX's. Long story short (not!), try and use something that isn't too common... Catherine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest S***e Report post Posted November 19, 2008 "Spike" has been my nickname since childhood, however it's pretty much gone by the wayside over the years so I use my real first name. If someone were to yell either Spike or my first name I'd know it...so "here Spike come to Mama" gets a firm response from me. Old Spike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capital Hunter 18263 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 When you visit a provider, do you use your own first name? If not, what pseudonym do you use? I use my own first name. It makes them laugh. A certain somebody (Hi Ms. P.P.) told me that there are a lot of "Gords" in Canada. e I take outcalls only and usually (unless I call an agency which is rare) we exchange emails and my first and last names goes with my email everytime so yes I use my real names. I am single and I only take outcalls (which is legal) and don't have many reasons to worry about (none I can think of). If I should, please let me know.
