There are three types of people in this world, Greeks, Italians, and those that wished they were one of the two.

I actually have a little Italian blood in me from my dad's side of the family. Just a little, though.

First of all I'm not suggesting that people be forced to use their real name I was just wondering what are your thoughts on using your real name versus using a nickname. I think it would make it easier to search for people that you know. Of course I realize that many of the players here might be children so using their real names wouldn't be appropriate. I'm basically addressing this to the adults.
I screwed up when I used my real name. I thought I would have an opportunity to choose a nick later in the registration process.

Send feedback. Russ has allowed people to change their username for this reason in the past.

The internet is a dangerous form of communication, especially for children. If you do not personally know who you are talking to, why give your real name? Even if you have nothing to hide, when you do give your real name be willing to accept the repercussions. Good or bad.
