My right name is Pádraig Micheál Shannon (I'm not going to tell you my confirmation name). I was named after my mother eldest brother (of course) and I absolutely love my name. My given and middle names are equivalent to 'Patrick Michael' in English, and are properly pronounced 'POOR - ig MEE - hall'. As a child, I was universally called 'Patsy', which gradually changed to 'Pat', and is what I'm generally called now.
Various nicknames I've been saddled with over the years: Patch/Patches, Long Fella, Keeb, Punchy.
'Brian Sodding Boru' is the only online name I've ever used, bar a brief period on Yahoo chat where I was known as 'God's Left Testicle'.
