Are you afraid to post your real name on the internet?

There are only three people in the whole country that share my last name. My wife got it by marriage and my mother is still living. I'm not making it public, because it would just be too easy to find me. There are a lot of weirdos in this world. If that labels me as afraid, then so be it. I had my real name in my profile for years here. I removed it in the last several months.
 
I don't go around advertising it, but that being said my name sounds the same as a major singer so it's kind of difficult to find my real name out there.

I don't care if people know it, but I prefer them not to. Obviously people in FS/FT know my real name (a few even know my gf's name 😛), but I don't go posting it online everywhere.

Your name rawks.

too russian

Just the first one 🙂 (Although Drashkov is pretty damn badass)

Of course. Not everyone can be named after both the Roman god of war and the patron saint of winemakers.
 
Yes
When you work for a company you have to be careful that what you say doesn't reflect onto them.
Even if it is off topic, some employers are rather picky.

lol, I just want to apologize for laughing at your last name. I'm so sorry.

As I have posted before:
$50 for anyone who can come up with something that I didn't hear by the 5th grade.

Pick a Peck of Winkled Peckers?

Actually, the proper reference was "Dixie Normous", though Richard (Dick) C. Normous would work well for a gent.

Simply put, you're not worthy.

You might as well just change your last name to Snorglefloppy.
 
Not really, but I don't go out of my way to post it. I don't want all of you weirdos showing up at my house and drinking my beer.
