do you nickname your steam friends?

Don't know, I do like to eat pie though.

No, because it would be like this: trader 1, trader 2, trader 3, ......trader 85.

...hmmm....good idea....tomorrow I try to stick post-its with "wife" and "daughter" to my household-members.

Yeah,that option is very helpful with one of my personal friends,guy is changing his nickname twice a week and avatar also,so hard to keep an eye on everyone :)

yes i use it a lot .. especially to trades and gifts groups ... i need to keep some guys in my list so this is a nice function to me

I'm too manly for such shenanigans

I don't use it but i should because i have no idea who are my steam friends.

Yeah. Also groups like "Traders", "Real life", etc.

Only for a few that need reminder notes, like "Posted about trading X for Y."

Friends in RL, traders, eliminate soon, etc.

O and scrubs

I nickname them all Steve.

I do this, yes:)

I just delete any of them I don't recognize.

Yeah I do. I have 3 types of friend:

1) I know in person and / or are from my country, and we chat and play multi games together

2) I trade with usually

3) I play CS:GO with usually (ppl from other countries)

Other ones I simply delate.

Chat history option would solve this problem of not knowing who is who though....

EDIT: It is a good thing, yeah.

yep with real names. too many nicks

When I was starting to do stuff with SG and groups I added nicks to some people, like "ThatGuy (SG)", "ThatotherGuy (Heretic)", and so on.
But with time all those melted into one and now I only have 2 tags - "Friends" and "Useless".

I always give nicknames to all of the people that add me. I'll add notices to people i trade with (like how they behave or if they tried to trick me or something) or to people randomly add me. I want to remember if i had a good time with these people.
People i know from real life get their real names as nickname so i always know who they are even if they change their steamnames.

Some of them change their names and avatars constantly, so yes or I'll lose track (even if I talk to them frequently - I've had to find them again by their URLs before). I'm the "boring" one who won't change their name and always has a Natla avatar. :p

...It was kind of funny when I had no goddamn idea who was messaging me and why they knew anything about me though (until I clicked their profile, of course). lol

Mind blown, didn't know this was even possible.

Sometimes.
I put nicknames for the people I knew IRL, so I'd remember who they actually are on Steam...
And then I also put nicknames on a few people I play (or used to play) games with a lot who would change their names and/or avatars quite often.

Rarely. Only two or three are nicknamed, but I'm too lazy and have a too big friend list to bother.

only the people i feel are worth the effort

I categorize and put nicknames to all my poke... to all the people I'm interested on remember who they are.
Except the ones I already remember, mainly from bundlelicious and fancies, so don't ask me your nickz

I recently did, so that whatever Steam name they choose, I'll still recognise them.
