I think we should all use our real names as a username and maybe something next to it if your name is too common

my real name is ervin and my surname starts with p. I am satisfied that i have got my username as my actual name. 
i think we should all do the same. 
what do the rest of you think about that.

Back in the day, my Father would become angry, when in the "comment" section of the newspaper, someone would write their opinion, but NOT attach their name.  He said that if somebody doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to identify themselves, why should we even BOTHER with what they think??  SO I use my real name in posting, and let the chips fall where they may.  however in over 20 YEARS in posting, there never have been any "chips", so no problem.

True, that using your real name makes you identifiable but it also allows those with unscrupulous motives to also identify you and track your every move as well as businesses that seek to barrage you with endless advertising, nagging you to buy their products or sell your name to other businesses. Not everyone has fantastic neighbor's, or a boss and using a real name instead of a pseudonym also allows them and all others online to know all about your business. People do NOT need to know everything others are doing

Screen names are used for the purpose of protection as well as privacy. And forcing others to use their real name opens the door wider for sexual predator's, stalking, cyberbullying, identity theft, invasion of privacy and more.

There is an air of assumption and accusation in this thread; that people who don't want to mention online their real name, age or gender are liars and are hiding something from others. Their personal lives are no one else's business. Period !!! People have the right to decide for themselves on how much information they wish to divulge about themselves. It is possible to reply to others online without ever going into the minute details of others lives.

This would actually be a liability for our Chinese, Syrian, Iranian, and Russian brethern in Christ. Especially in China and Iran, using an actual name could lead to them going to prison.

Or worse.  And not just the countries listed above, but any muslim country.

 

In Saudi Arabia they are allowing Catholicism tentatively, and the Ruler of Egypt has been having spirit filled ministers come talk with him as a church rebuilding program has been underway. 

But you are right that in many Islamic countries there is hostility towards the Gospel. However, in Iran this backfired with the Ayatollah admitting that he couldn’t quell the rise of Christianity, “the more we persecute it, and round up people, the stronger it gets.”

I guess my name is common; I have no idea.

ETA: my wife and I are writers, and we use the pen name "Cameron Bane" for our novels.

Of course.  Filet mignon medium rare is my favorite. 

Do you serve Salisbury Steak?
