Does anyone here ever get called their ATOT screenname elsewhere or IRL?

I use it on other forums, so yes to 'elsewhere'

Technically I did get called it once in real life, but never again since then.
 
Yes.

In college, quite a few of my friends did not even know my real name until several months after we had met. I had known them online for some time before realizing that we actually went to the same school. As such, they usually called me 'Zeta' IRL. I suspect most of them probably still would.
 
Only over TeamSpeak in WoW.

I can't get anyone else to call me "cK," other than the mailing department for the Libertarian Party. 😱

Some of my friends who I first met online call me by my old screen name, since that's what they knew me by, and it's just easier. Heh, even one of my friend's g/f's calls me by that.

On the same token, I call some of them by their online names too.
