Should you use your full name as a username?

    Another example which took place mere minutes ago.

    Supposed Application Tech Support Guy (SATSG for short): "Please let me know your availability tomorrow afternoon, I want to have the PLM war file to be deployed on both the OAS server."

    Grumpy DBA: "I am available any time tomorrow afternoon, noon - 4:00pm."

    SATSG: "Isn't it possible for later in the afternoon? 5:30pm?"

    Grumpy DBA: "You asked for afternoon and I offered noon - 4:00. 5:30 is not possible today or tomorrow due to family commitments. I can be online later tonight, at 9:00."

    SATSG: "PLM production is never brought down during the work hours for any patch implementation or the maintenance. I mentioned afternoon means any time after the production hours. I discussed it with application team and 9:00pm works for us if its Ok for you."

    Grumpy DBA: "9:00pm tonight is good for me. I guess we have different definitions of "afternoon"..."

    SATSG: "Ohh so, 5:30pm is not an afternoon for you!!!"

    And they wonder why I'm grumpy...

    I think for formal sites like these, yes use your full names, but if you are on any other site, rather use a nick.

    One more thing, if you are using this to build your own brand, put it on your resume, you might want your full name.
