Yes, this is my real name. I do not use any nicknames for my given name. 'Regina' is just fine. Please no 'Reggie' or 'Reg' or 'Gina'. :-) Some people have taken to shortening my handle, 'Brinstar' to 'Brin' or 'Brinny'.

Since she doesn't like the obvious ones and 'Regina' is too long. Also 'Brin' and 'Brinny' are terrible nicks IMHO and reminds me too much of Brimstone. Any suggestion on a good nickname? I was thinking:

R.B.
Edge (Reg - R)

She specifically asks for no nicknames but you thought you'd go ahead anyway?

Gaile is 5 letters,
Regina is 6.

Come on, 1 extra letter.

And people sometimes didn't call Gaile by her first and last name.....not a big deal.

But lol at Brinstar being a nickname for Britney :P

She simple stated she didn't have any nicknames not that she wouldn't want or mind having nicknames and I've exempted the ones she didn't like. Learn to read.

I stay simple Reggie lol, I don't care if she doesn't like it, thats life and she can't forbid simple millions of players to call her in the most easiest way, but if she should have really such a personal problem with beign called "Reggie", i think direct, this will be not a job for her XD

This is a MMO, here you get called, like people will and not an offline game, where you call yourself how you want and nobody else can change somethign on it

However, should she start crying, should I ever see her on, when i call her Reggie then, I might change maybe then instead to "Boonoobra" XD rofl j/k

She wants no nicknames, so you better follow that or else... (Homer Simpson's /fistshake goes here)

'Obra' may mean: "Performance", "Deed", "Job", "Piece of Work", "Construction" and a lot of many things.
Spanish is language with a log of synonyms and words with multiple meanings. You cannot translate without context.

You do realise Regina is only ONE MORE letter than Gaile right?

IMHO your nickname here is terrible. Shall I start a thread about changing it?

I don't think that this is interesting at all (not directed at you). Names are just names, we're not in GW where people send you (positive and negative) signals with their names.

SIX LETTERS!!!! Damn you A-Net! Damn you to hell!!! How are we to enjoy GW now that you've forced us to type one more letter when addressing the CR person? You go to hell and you DIE!!!

Regina is a fine name, leave it alone.

Or we could respect her wishes and refer to her as Regina. Seriously, there is nothing to gain in annoying her.

Technically, names has a lot to do with ones personality as you had to grow up with it and with its meaning and how your surrounding can view you thought it. Not easily noticeable, but it works.

For example you see that Regina has expressed desire NOT to have nicknames. Guess she has some history of people replacing "R" with "V". That leaves its marks.

I feel like i'm repeating myself... Because I am.

For those who can't click the link, she said no to nicknames, yes to her real name.

I can find no evidence for this, source?

If I'd prefer to use a nickname for whatever reason, that doesn't offend her why shouldn't I be able to?

She asked us to call her "Regina," she didn't ask us to make up a new nickname for her. Honestly, is it so hard typing one extra letter and respecting her wishes? Even if you may not see what she said as an outright "no" to nicknames, why take the chance of offending her? Play on the safe side and avoid annoying her whether your intentions may be good or bad I say.
