Need your help: "real name" VS nickname

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 17, 2008, 4:04 AM
Hi guys!
Well, i really need your advice on this, i'm... stuck!

I'm about to relaunch my freelance activity, i'm a graphic & webdesigner and an illustrator for kids.

Until now, i had two websites, two egos:
1/ my real name for my designer activity
2/ germaine for my illustration portfolio

That means two identities and two different communication supports (cards, leaflets, websites, names...)

Now that i'm starting again on fresh new basis, i'm wondering if i should
1/ keep my real name for both activities and only use germaine in "private" / forums, etc...
2/ use germaine for both activities and take the risk to loose "serious" clients since the nickname is funky but not really corporate

Help!
Thank you very much, any advice would help, and if you've been in the same place and had a choice to make, i'd be so glad to hear about it.

hmmm..about your questions on real name/nickname i think you should use your name for your work ,when you show your "business".
The nickname is funny and i love it but you shoul keep it just for fun and friends.
Personal opinion,of course! ;)
i love your work :love: ever
