I don't mind using my real name online because it is stupidly generic (Daniel Levin). If someone wanted to identify me, my name wouldn't be of much help to them. This is interesting because my real name is less useful in being identifying than a screen name used on multiple websites


My name is also highly generic (one notch below John Smith) to the point where good friends haven't been able to find me on facebook.
