I know the poll specifically asks about the real name in the profile, but I want to point out that 'generic usernames' (mine's particularly silly and mostly kept because it's close enough to line noise to be usually available _and_ with me for a good deal more than a decade) don't change the 'real identity' thing in general. If I wouldn't have my real name in my profile, you'd still be able to figure out who I am in a second. Even if that would _not_ be the case: Given that I am my handle on the internet and keep it everywhere I go, I'd say that this is more useful and even more personal than my 'real name'.
