It's not even about that. To be honest I don't even have a fear of "identity theft" as it's called. I usually don't share that stuff with total strangers, for the same reason I don't walk down the street saying my name to everyone I see (that's why people use nicks in the first place online), though I thought maybe eventually I would share it with someone I made friends with. Then you went and ASKED. Now I keep it a secret just to make you upset, which it seems to do for some reason, and ONLY to you I might add. Everyone else is content to know my OTHER name, Dark Jaguar. Besides, my first name isn't like "Kris" or some other name that doesn't reveal gender, it's a very gender-specific name, and I certainly don't wanna give anything that reveals my genetic structure, because then judgements on me based on something other than my idiotic beliefs start happening. Stupid I know, but hey, who cares, aside from you that is? You need to stop taking stuff like this so personally. Yeesh, you act like I'm insulting you or am being unfriendly or something...
Besides, it's FUN to be a total anomaly. You know I'm from Oklahoma of America, so you can at least judge me via region. Why do you even want to know my "real world name" anyway?
Watch .hack//sign, they NEVER say their real names to each other, especially that main character. Talk in most other message boards, and it's the same. Here is the exception, yet even here no one actually CARES if someone reveales their name, except you. Most people online understand the desire to keep pretty much everything about one's real world identity a secret, so an online persona without bias can be formed, EXCEPT YOU. Oh well, it's weird things like that that make you lovable, or hilarious. I get the two confused...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
