OOOHHH EEEEEE AHHHHH LOL!! Hahaha!!!

[Ezaleon]

I think it would be a lot easier to find people. dramallama

[Melisa Quist]

No way, I wouldn't even enter my own. >w<
'Sides, I don't want people I know in real life to find me here. If I wanted to speak to them, I'd meet them or make a facebook account.

[valrisius]

I suppose I would enter mine - no one can find you from a name, unless you have a really unique one. I'd never enter my last name, of course, or my friend's.

[the dark gaurdian]

im a complete stranger, therefore names are not required lol

[MetalReaperSoul]

It would make things a lot easier especially when ur looking for old friends.

[tzumii-chan]

nope I found it to private

[CIBlady]

I really wouldn't want to search anything by real name (Personal reasons why you shouldnt...)
Think about it would you want your name said everywhere? (won't be too likely but could happen)

[NoahKim1187]

Would be too stressful!!!

[Dynasty Juliet]

Nope, if I wanted people to know my real name I would give it to them. Several of my friends on here have earned that privileged... But I have also had my share of stalkers...
Which raises a good time to say: Avoid giving people your name unless you are prepared to file restraining orders.

[SceneSmiles]

I dont want everyone able to find me! If my friends asked for my user i'd give it to them and i'd ask their user! I dont want people internet stalking me, especially if i know them eek

[115nightmare]

I think it would be easier to be able to search real names because I don't know what my friends usernames are

[sofi_151]

In the age of the Internet you cannot rely no the fact that people are honest or truthful and I know I like the anonymity of the Internet, at times.

[Bloody_Beautiful-Monster]

no. i don't want to put my real name. might cause me a lot of trouble later. right?? this is an internet after all. some people are cannot be trusted.

[izumi_chan15]

I think if there was a way that people could search you (such as my friends in real llife can look my name up and find me), but I would not want the random strangers to see my name so publicly.
