I'm more surprised that you'd believe that kind of non sense. I've seen people use cute little names and names from games and stuff all the time.I'm not a Facebooker.
I see my wife uses her real name.
I see people complain about Google+ and Facebook making you use your real name.
Do you really have to ?

Most people that uses real name, they are by choice.
I ask people like you "onimua" who you are on facebook, and it gives me 44 d* hern* results .. if the profile is private or not sharing private details with the public i still have to ask for the direct url because the profile pic is generic.I'm unsure how else friends may want to reconnect with me (or I them) if we don't go by our actual names.
Because most of my IRL friends don't know me as "Onimua"? How would someone from say, my middle school, know what name to use to search for me? If I'm giving someone my Facebook URL, then obviously it's easy, but what about someone I haven't seen in years and they decide to look me up and try to find me on Facebook? A username isn't going to help there.I ask people like you "onimua" who you are on facebook, and it gives me 44 d* hern* results .. if the profile is private or not sharing private details with the public i still have to ask for the direct url because the profile pic is generic.
What's wrong with facebook.com/onimua ? ..
I have no problem with Google+ learning the ropes of what the world wants out of their + service, same with facebook, don't like it? Don't use it .. that's what I try to do at least.
It's a bit silly, but I do support the idea that I can talk to 'James', rather than his gaming tag, but that said, if THAT is who he is online, that's just as good to m as James .. I guess I am neutral on this hehe
Hm, true. Would I prefer using a username over my real name? I would, but that wouldn't help the scenario I described above so I have to use it.But then it's a preference, not a mandatory thing ..

He got his name back a couple of years ago.Sucks to be "the artist formally known as prince" {symb0l here}
I can't keep track with all those name changes. lolHe got his name back a couple of years ago.
Personally I have FB and G+ accounts under my real name and aliases.
While true, people also change their emails once in a while too, whether it's because of preference, ISP changes and not able to keep their old one, or deciding "omgfunkittygurl" as an email for work isn't exactly professional. Now I've have the same email for years, and unlikely to change, but growing up I think I've gone through at least 3-5 different email addresses.Back in the olden days we used email. My friends all have mine.
