I've known people in Real Life whose Real Name participation online backfired in a bad way through no fault of their own. I would not presume to insist that everyone use their Real Life name online for these very reasons.
I agree with that!

I have had my students search online for me via my real name before, and whilst there is nothing *bad* to hide, I don't really want them knowing the ins and outs of my life. Therefore I do not use my real name for anything not professionally related or absolutely required online (i.e. facebook, online stores).
