    I agree with Ian... I would advise against anyone using their real life names in the PVB, not because of any major issues, but for all the reasons he lists. Fiction like this is a fragile hobby, and it really takes very litttle to discourage people. Besides, to me this place is all about escapism, and using real life names just drags those troubles in with you.

Yeah, I personally have to agree with this. I'm actually lucky I happened to be going through a weird phase at the time, as though I was going by "Bry Katz", it wasn't my legal name. I've long since abandoned it, and then simply changing my character's first name from "Bry" into "Brian" separates him even further from my real life name.
