Non-BGLOer, but TNX does have some similarities, in that our members have line names.

No, but I can't recall calling, being called, or having someone call me by my line name instead of my real name. At best, if a story / joke / anecdote is being told in which someone / their line name is relevant, then you might here it. I've never call preciousjeni (fellow GCer) PourSISTAnce for the sake of it?

No because they would have no idea what they are talking about and shouldn't, as only sisters who were a part of my intake or who I've personally told the meaning would have any idea what my name means.

I NEVER go by my nickname, although I do go by my number and position on my line sometimes.

Sometimes, depends on the line / chapter / region, I would argue mostly the line.
To this day we do not have 2 sisters with the same line name, it's kinda not allowed. But I can see it becoming problematic as we get larger. And our names are not allowed to be derogatory, ie sexual, relating to alcohol, etc.
