My examples were extreme but another nickname of mine is Christo, from
Christian and I have read on IRC people that got offended by my profile pic
and this nickname... But again mine were just some reason of why I still
think real name is the correct way. Honestly I'm still confused what was the
big idea on the kernel to permits nickname... Some month ago I had like 6
reviewers that were angry with me using Ansuel Smith instead of my real
name (and me having to change the SoB losing at least 3 years of kernel
contributions)

But again lets make a vote and put and end to this. It's causing more
confusion with some commits being accepted and then someone yelling
on IRC.
