Sure, my username is part of my actual name. I can still wish for a modicum of privacy. If you find that so strange, read up on Scott Alexander[1], who deleted his entire blog when the New York Times threatened to publish the third and last part of his name. I'm trying to keep basic hygiene, like not having *Hacker* News on the first page of results when somebody googles my real name.
