I've shared my first name before.

Hell it is easy to guess since my username is a shortening of my name lol.

A handful of people on my friends list on Steam that I know IRL, that's it. I've never given it out on any other site, I have no social media (Instagram, Facebook etc.) Folks need to keep their privacy in check.

It's on my username and I think I've mentioned what one of two of my surnames means because it describes physical appearance and I don't look like that at all and I find it amusing.

A ton of people. A lot of usernames I use are close to my real name anyways (or in some cases it's literally my first name).

I don't think anyone on this site actively knows my real name, though I have mentioned it here and there. It's a pretty standard biblical white boi name so you could honestly just guess it if you tried.

There's a few people on my friend list here who know my real name, also met some of them in real life, very chill people.

Also my username is an anagram of my first name, should be an easy one.

If you mean "online" as in "got to know online", then 2 people as of now

But if you're just referring to the given name, then way more people know at least my preferred given name

Outside of personal social media accounts that are strictly to connect with IRL people? Absolutely no one. I share a nickname with almost everyone I know more online about and despise sharing my legal name because it's uncommon and thus easily searchable. Heck, I shared my nickname with my most of my co-workers because they don't need to know that+they butcher pronouncing my real name (and I'd rather them say a nickname than attempt to say my real name in a horrible accent).

Some people from my WoW guild know my first name, but that's about it. If I can be anonymous somewhere online, I'll gladly take it. It's quite rare nowadays, unfortunately.

A very few. I don't like revealing my name, or location, online. Only to people I'm close with.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

MAL is like a secondary Reddit.
