Both my real (shortened)* name and my business name. * Portuguese people tend to have very long full names | | |
Yes, why not? | Jul 13, 2014 |
Fortunately my real name is very short. I never considered not using my real name. | | |

Yes-ish. It's my real name with some letters missing. Otherwise it'd be too long for my purposes. | |

This is me. I am an open book - this is what you get. Mind you, pssst. I do have some 007 codenames so that I can translate incognito when I go on wet ops. Don't tell anyone! | |

It's human to want to do business with another human being, not an unidentifiable "username," and and not an avatar.
