[Sorry, he's not going to put his "name" to something like this. It's awkward, and given that his "name" right now is just "Nameless Wanderer", he's pretty sure attaching it to this post would get people asking questions that aren't any of their business.]

Do you like your name? What does it mean? Who gave it to you? Would you change it if you could, and if you would what would it be?

I'm doing some research on names and why humans get so attached to them or don't.

Maybe they are where you're from, but not where I'm from.

So did you pick this name, or did your father?

[your_best_friend]

My dad offered it, and I picked it.

Is your name actually "Anonymous"? It wouldn't be the craziest thing I've seen.

[threebetrayals]

It isn't. I just don't use my name often.

[Because he doesn't have one but details.]

It must feel a little weird for you to suddenly have to, doesn't it? That's what this dreamworld does to people. Forcing them to have distinct identities of their own.

[...is this person stalking him or something? How does he know?]

I never said I don't use my name, I just don't use it often.

[your_best_friend]

[...Maybe Definitely not.]

I never said you didn't! But... I'm a little curious. If we were to meet and have a conversation outside of this journal... What should little old me call you?

[threebetrayals]

I guess we'll see if that day ever comes.

[Curious flower is curious. He NEEDS to know.]

When.

And it may come sooner than you expect. buddy!
