Or alternatively, if you already use your real name as your user name, put a nickname or screenname in the AKA section, as a way to identify yourself.

Overall I think using real names in one way or another gives a more personal feeling to forums like this, especially when 1) the community continues to grow, and 2) there is a very good chance many of us will meet in the real/offline world.
I definetly agree with this! Its pretty funny because a while back I was having problems with the activation of my membership in Chief Delphi and I e-mailed Brandon who then sent me my "new" username and password!

Turns out that my username in CD is "Franchesca" ... which is my second name!! And on top of that I wrote my first and last name in the "AKA"!

Personally I feel that if someone uses their nickname or else other than their real name, well at least they should put their real name in the AKA ... and well if those interested in knowing everyones real name, well why don't they just read it in the AKA? (if it's there)

Either way, the persons real name should be displayed somewhere in their post ... wether it is their username or their AKA!


And just to clarify, my ENTIRE name is:
Nadia Franchesca Zamora Diaz ... (i leave the Diaz out)!!

I have to agree ... Dorienne Plait and I are quite a DUO in CD!!!
