That was literally the first question @jayna had for us: what do we call each other. Jayna was easy, since that's her name. I gave her my real name just in case.

I think as long as it doesn't sound too weird saying it out loud, you still use steemit names since that's more familiar. For the meetup we had last week with the larger group, almost everyone called everyone else by their steemit names or a shorthand version of it. (eg, 'Neg').

'Shane' was the exception, since '@swelker101' would be dumb.
