Would you give someone your name if they asked for it here (on SFN)?

 

Or let's change that a bit... what's your name*?

 

*Name refers to first name and surname

e.g. Bob Smith :rolleyes:

The whole name including the middle initial? Or just the first, like, 'Hi, I'm Bob'?

 

What induced this particular curiosity?

Yeah I was wondering that question too!

 

I suppose it can be first name and surname... I'll add it to the 1st post.

just publishing your phone number in the phone book gets you prank phonecalls and people trying to sell you stuff, so im a little guarded with my personal info.

 

plus it would make it easyer for 4nums to find me before i find him...

My name is probably all over the internet already...

 

If you type my name into google, you could find out a lot of information about me.

The first hit would be an abstract I wrote for research I've done.

 

So does it really matter if I give my name out here?

my name is a very vauge term, as a mmorpg player my real name and my mmorpg name are practiacaly the same- if a mate shouts out my mmorpg ill turn around, same with my fps name, a name is just a method if id- your birthname being the one recognised by the state, but if i went up to someone i knew online and used my real name they probably wouldnt know who i was. a name is just a form of I.D.

id be more annoyed about my mmorpg name getting out than my rl one to be honest.

i voted only in a PM would I give my first name away. If I posted it, I would be afraid some smartass would use my first name while we were arguing. IDK why, but that would really annoy me. I guess becasue I hate when people read your nametag at work and call you by it thinking they are the sooo freakin' clever.
