My first poll (why am I so nervous?)

I've been curious about this ever since I was first introduced to the internet.

I've seen usernames that are clearly made up, and I've seen people use what appears to be their real name. Whenever I sign up at a new site, I never know if I should let people know my real name, or not.

So, I'm interested in seeing what the people here have done. This question applies ONLY to these fanfic boards. Do you use your real name or not?

I deliberately made this a poll, so that people could answer anonymously, if they prefer. If you would like to add a post explaining your views, that's OK, too!
