That's part of the thought process - most of us think of each other as our screennames, even when we eventually learn the "real" name. FG, or Fig or definately "fan girl" is not what I'd want anyone calling me across a crowded room... and with the crowd I hang out with, *everyone* would turn around if "Writer!" was called.
It's not so much what it stands for as "is this what I want people calling me?" And the answer's pretty much "not really."
I've already semi-lost my last name to screennameitis; now that I have a second chance to rebrand myself, I'd like it to be something a little more... interesting.
