You're on Facebook, but, for whatever reason (perhaps, because of your job), you don't want to post your real name. What name would you use?

Asked by Jude (32204points) June 14th, 2011

I have had a few co-workers contact me through Facebook. I want to keep it strictly friends and family, since I’m a teacher, and don’t want the Roman Catholic Separate School Board knowing my business. I have had to turn down a few co-worker friend requests. Just today, I received another friend request. My girlfriend said that I should change my name to:

Jenny Lynne Amber Waves
or
Jenny Lynne Diggler

Haha!!

What would you go with?

If I was on facebook and didn’t want to use my real name I’d leave. There are plenty of other ways of keeping in touch with the people I care about.

Or I’d just go with something really stupid.

The CIA already knows exactly who you are, and you’re in their photo archives if you’ve ever been tagged in a photo by someone else. Changing your name will not afford you privacy. You are already linked by your e-mail address and ISP, and according to Facebook’s TOS, that’s permanent and perpetual.

Set your privacy settings to where you cannot be searched, and nothing on your page is viewable to anyone except those people that you friend.

If I told you my secret alias it wouldn’t be a secret.

Seriously though, I avoid this problem by not adding anyone who doesn’t already know me face-to-face and therefore already know my real name.
