Not a normal practice on the Caminos. Most people introduce themselves with their given name. Though if you prefer to be known as something else that is entirely up to you.On long distance trails in the US you are almost required to accept or adopt a trail name. Is this a practice on the Camino?

it reminds me i usually remember most of part of the story but i forget the title.Now you could introduce yourself as : The Early 4 am Riser/ the Plastic Bag Rustler / the Snorer or The One That Had One Vino Too Much / The Quiet One / The One That Does Yogaexcercises In The Bathroom..etc.
I wanted to get the definition of hiker-trash:I don't think I met anyone with a trail name. The American term "hiker-trash" doesn't really apply on the camino either. A real shame in my opinion.
LOVED that list!!!! ...and could relate to almost all of them except my garage experience was an actual barn with cows mooing, farting and stomping...my daughter insists that I add and pooping splatter sounds...I wanted to get the definition of hiker-trash:
35 Warning Signs That You Might Be Hiker Trash…
I laughed out loud at #28
Forum names are great alter-IDs, especially as one gets older and memory starts to fade. I use the same forum name on all my internet forums--makes life a lot easier. I wish passwords were so simple.Your Forum name will follow you around forever, after seven years that's my handle. I can reel off a long list of others pilgrims I have met who are best known by their Forum names.

What a wonderful trail name! What half did you do? We live near it, and in Virginia it actually runs through my brothers yard...Last year, I did half Appalachian Trail, my trail name: "Yellow Arrow" Could not be another.
Buen Camino. Have a good trail.
Two days out of Le Puy I had a bar (cafe) owner come running out of his restaurant and urging everyone else to come running out to see me as he literally screamed " Mary Poppins", "Mary Poppins". I walk in a Macabi skirt AND was carrying my trekking umbrella.

Congratulations! Quite an achievement!!!First and last day in AT.
Congratulations Mikel. Peg and I had long wanted to hike the full Appalachian Trail. Although we still do some short stretches the full trail is too much for us now. The Camino Francés was picked to give us a long hike and Peg was happy not having to sleep on the ground (except for the night in St. Jean.)First and last day in AT.
Mike, those are AWESOME pictures! Thank you so much for sharing...First and last day in AT.
Can I get Coco, like George Costanza??
My father-in-law's name is David. An Englishman who spent part of his childhood and early adult years in Scotland. Known to all except his parents as Taffy. Too many Davids in his year at school!Not really, but back in 2013 I was called "Irish" constantly as I was the only Irish person in our gang. I guess David is too tricky a name
