@mia Also, someone's legal name may not reflect their "real identity" (it doesn't for me, though I'm neither trans nor in any danger when outed; it's just not the name anyone except authorities knows me by)

Same with me, no one calls me by my legal name. But many people call me by names that started out as online handles.

@EverydayMoggie @irina @mia Even when people call me by my legal name, it's usually in a shortened form.

And usually just the shortened version of my first name.

And...either way, my name isn't unique for my first and last name as a combination; it's effectively *more* anonymous.

@AT1ST @EverydayMoggie @mia Both my legal name and the name I use are in fact unique! So if I want to be anonymous I need a real alias.
