What's your real name ?

[johnwalker]

I notice that a lot of forum members screen names give no clue as to their real names. I don't know about anyone else but it's much more personal to address someone by there real name rather than Grumpy old git or whatever screen name they use.

What do you think

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

Started using my real name and found phone calls to my personal home. Switched to a surname only to separate my art life from my personal family life. Certainly don't mind using my actual name to anyone who askes in sort of a private way. The kids started referring to me as my surname. I initial my work rather than sign it and my actual name is for family and friends. As long as there is something other than "hey you" to refer to not sure I care if ones personal name remains private. Grandaddyearl
