Use your real name?

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Do you use your real name on forums? As your username? Do you object to posting your real full name on a public forum? Do you like your anonymity?

 

[Raven]

Never used my name as a username. Don't like posting it about forums either. First name is fine, but not my whole name.

 

[Bryd0]

Only revealed my first name on forums. Never gave out my surname in case some nutjob tracks me on Facebook.

 

[Jazzy]

Never used my name as a username. Don't like posting it about forums either. First name is fine, but not my whole name.

Same here.

 

[Bea Sunny (:]

Never used my name as a username. Don't like posting it about forums either. First name is fine, but not my whole name.

Same here as you see I am using my first name.

 

[DrLeftover]

My real name is hardly a secret as it is all over various publishing sites and so on, which makes it hard to conceal.

Such as:




But I don't make a habit of using it on the forum or social sites.

 

[Nilla]

I don't like using my real name as my username because it just seems too odd for me I guess. I like having my usernames different from my real name. =P And I will only give out my first name on public forums.

 

[The Dragon Master]

I only rarely give my first name. Most people online only know me by my username.

 

[JetWing34]

I only use my full name on Facebook and Youtube, that's it.

 

[Tyler]

I don't mind using Tyler but I don't use my dull name.

 

[Darth-Apple]

I've given my first name out before, but I would never use my full name, and generally prefer "Darth-Apple" nowadays anyhow.

I like the sense of anonymity you can get on the internet.

 

[raees]

I use my real name.

 

[Damian]

I use my real name, Damian now. Not my full name of course.

 

[Bjornar]

I use my full name everywhere...

 

[MamaFrankie]

No because of privacy reasons. Also in case there is someone who knew me by my original forename years ago and exposes it.

 

[Angela]

I only use my first name now. Except for one forum, Im known as Catlady.

 

[Cory]

Most people won't know who I am based on my first name since I usually hide other personal information, so I generally always use my first name as my username nowadays.

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Catlady

Do you have any cats?

 

[Dan The Man]

Yes. I mean my real name is Dan and my forum usernames are Dan The Man or DC.

 

[Shawn Gossman]

Yep, I use it. Shawn Gossman
