One of the people going on the Iceland thing emailed round. Am going to reply. But not yet.

Would it be weird... no, I know it would be weird of me, but is it forgivable, is it in fact a reasonable idea, to ask the people on this thing to call me by a different name than the one I normally use? And if I did... I would probably lie and tell them it was my usual nickname instead of explaining that I'm constructing a persona somewhat more suitable for a month of camping and conservation than my current.

I'm thinking Beth.

But if I go too far with it the whole thing could get schizophrenic, and that would be bad.

I've spent the past four years going by two different names--one at university, one everywhere else--and while I usually have my moments of Angst and WTF-ness, I've managed with a fairly whole personality that is not, in fact, schizophrenic.

Also, I'm planning on using a third name when I go to grad school, just for curiosity's sake.

Cool. *makes approving (but hopefully not patronising) noises*
