Yep. Rtm and Tlb get called by their usernames too.

This seems like an MIT/Harvard thing. I've noticed that the people who call me 'dfranke' IRL, you included, tend to be affiliated with one of the two.

I think RTM is pretty much universally RTM though, whether or not the speaker has any Cambridge ties. I don't think I've ever heard any spoken reference to his full name.

I'm tempted to change my username to "gc", but I'm afraid I wouldn't get called.

I've never heard anyone call Jessica "x" though...
