Both our pseuds contain clues to our real names (though mine is far more obscure), and some years ago when I saw her biography on her web page I realized I knew her!
I've actually figured out a few other people I knew from e.g. college (and vice versa) due to references to mutual friends or activities. (One person mentioned a mutual friend and we figured out that though we didn't know each other, she was a close friend of one of my brothers in college.) It's always a little startling to realize, especially when I feel that my current RL friends (and most of my past ones) would be "say WHAT?" about fandom.
