I've included that feedback below and included some of my own. Next I will post my experiences with people using aliases!<br /><ol><li>Start a life from scratch</li><li>Birth name was quite popular and alias differentiates</li><li>Alias has an extra note of affection</li><li>Created for conscious purpose or the person giving it to them gives it for a conscious purpose</li><li>Alias initiates person into a new role / purpose</li><li>Establishes an identity in a sub-culture</li><li>Creates separation between pursuits / interests</li><li>Establish works / creative output under a separate identity</li></ol><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kokopelle&ditemid=375221" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2013-05-12:2014669:375000 2013-11-30T22:51:10Z 2013-11-30T22:51:10Z public 1 I have a feeling that there are a segment of people who would love to live under an alias or other identity.
