I've been signing my real name for a decade.  So far, no problems at all.

Status: offline 		What real name do you want? The name i was given at birth? Naaa would cause problems for some family and associates and other people. 

The name I was given by "Blood Brother" and his Father who "Adopted " me into their family?  I use it all the time >>>>>> Iron Bear

My family have for years always called me "Bear" because of my love for bears and the spiritual association of these great animals inboth the Celtic world and the Native American world...

signing with it on the internet unless I am in a very, very trusting place(site).
 
LaM, the pic you referred to is a snip from a Dali painting.

Status: offline 		I signed my name for about a year until I got into an in-depth discussion on another forum.  There were 3 other guys named Dave on the same thread. Half the posts started out with phrases like " I never said that, Dave did."

Been using -SD- ever since.

If my name was Elmer, or something else as unusual in this day and age, I'd still be signing my name. Since my name is so common, the only danger is confusion. I figure theres enough of that on the web already...

Cin is my real name...I'm not particularily worried about using it, and I never sign an email or a post with anything else.

Status: offline 		thanks for the feedback, folks.  I love my real name and have wanted to use it but it's unusual and i fear axe murderers hunting me down and doin me in LOL.
 
Lord and master, wow!  Who ran that household when he was a child?    
I think Brightspot is correct, a snip from a Dali painting but i found it right here on the CM avatars.  I thought it was sorta cool.
 
signed,
Tara

Status: offline 		I occasionally add my real name to posts.  I'm not very worried about it, and I've never had any trouble with it.  Besides, my profile has my real name at the very top anyway.

~Michelle


P.S.-  LAM, the painting is "Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire".  Pretty appropriate.  (brightspot had the right of it.  It's a Dali painting.)  It's one of my favorites.  In the painting, the slave girl in Takethiswaltz's avatar is subtly flipping off the observer.

That is cuz your name is Bob. . . not Deanna Joy, not only mispronouncible (or should that be an "a"?), but too much too say . . . I prefer DJ.  Much shorter. 

Best,
