I don't use my name as "user-id" (or "handle"). I'm usually either "LangrangeL4" or "LoneWolfiNTj". Two reasons: 1. Internet tradition is to use short ids using only [a-zA-Z0-9_]. 2. Some sites don't allow embedded spaces. My "display name" is usually my real name, though, as it is here.
I use the same handle I use for Threads, but I don't hide my name or real pic in my profile.
Why not use my actual name? I don't know, it's not to avoid recognition. Maybe because there are so many "Tom Browns" out there coming up with something unique is better.
