Do you prefer using a fake name or your real name on the internet?

Fake name!

Real name!

For privacy reasons, I never use my complete name on the internet. Sometimes, I'll use part of my real name, and sometimes I make up a username. There's no real logic to it... whatever strikes me when I first logon to whatever site or app it is.

I use a fake name unless the site or service is professional. I'm not gonna use a fake name on LinkedIn for example. But I do use a fake name on Facebook.

I use a fake name on everything other than LinkedIn and Pinterest

Fake name

My real name is Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli and was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1968 to an Italian American family, and my father, a US Navy sailor, that abandoned my mother while I was young. Years later I met my half-brother Arte and learned to cope with my father's absence and later death with Arte's help.

I would never put my real name out there. The government would probably have the FBI come to my house to visit.
