Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

She doesn't have to use a bad, fake Austrailian accent when she uses it, however.

You don't have to have a playa name. I don't.

Some people like playa names because it lets them be free of the default world for a week & inhabit a "different" persona.

I don't use a playa name because I'd rather change the real me all the time than just once a year or at a couple of get-togethers.

I am, always, "Eric".

YMMV.

My son was named "Mud Boy", by DPW, after trying to ride his bike through a couple inches of water...at spring clean up.
