My nick IS my name...but that's my choice.
There are some people whom I address by their real names, TE, Hooper, Trey from Epic (who everyone knows is Trey anyway), occasionally Grimm, CJ, Sykk, MikeAI (who's real name isn't all that different anyway).
These are people who a] I have known for a long time, b] I have met in real life and c] I know don't have a problem with it.
I wouldn't do it as intimidation...but then I'm not terribly intimidating anyway.
