If we were forced to wear a badge with our real name 24/7 in the real world, it would not be fun at all, it would simply be horrible...

OTOH - and to be honest - I am not sure, that I would be SUCH a good idea to force users of an online platform to use the names written down in their passports. Not even the networks, which are focused on networking do this on the web (with the exception of professional networks like LinkedIn and Xing) When I am entering a virtual world (or another online platform) for fun I don't always want to reveal my physical identity - for a lot of different reasons. Not to be mistaken: I usually do this - but I wouldn't want to forced to do this. I hope Twinity is not moving into that direction. @Wangxiang Tuxing: where in “physical reality” (what you call “real world”) do people display nicknames over their heads? ;) At conferences you often wear a badge with your name but it certainly would look kinda funny to wear a badge 24/7 and everywhere …

Where in the real world do people publicly display their real name permanently above their head ? Do you really want to completely suppress nicknames ?
