I've never been to a party with stickers like that, probably because I only go to parties with friends and family, not total strangers I have no interest in interacting with.
However, you would certainly not wear that tag in public now would ya? Some total stranger on the street asks you your name, you second guess their motives I'm sure. You want to know THEIR name. Why? Names are power. This is a big concern for a lot of people, and you're just sort of blowing it off.
"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)
