I guess for me it depends on the group and the game, but right now my core 
group of players will develope a name for each player and the nick will 
usually stick throughout the campaign - names like "Peck" "Fireboy" 
"Sneakygirl" etc will continue on.

Though we do roleplay, get the lingo and jargin down, as in the case of 
"Shadowrun" and "Cyberpunk" makes the gaming experience much more fun.
