A few days ago PJ suggested (jokingly) a dancer name of "Godzilla Pinball Twinklebop". A large majority of stage names or not much more credible than that and few customers have "work names".
Why are some people bothered by questions of "real name"?
I suspect it is human nature to want to talk to a person. Do you think the majority of people who talked to Samuel Clemens called him "Mark" or Mr. Twain?
I frankly do not care if dancers tell me their name is Mary or Jane--that is something I can deal with better than a lot of stage names.If a customer says his name is "Godzilla Pinball Twinklebop", what % of you are likely to ask what it really is?
I realize a SC is fantasy land, but so is this place. How many of you have asked "sadbuttrue" to explain his handle. I have been asked about my name.
Finally, the most likely trigger of the "real name" question is that the other party can't think of anything other to say to someone in the first 15 seconds of a conversation. It is a harmless time filler. You asked us our names, to get us talking, we ask your real name to get you talking?
Anyone who pushes the question of a dancer is just rude and deserves no defense.

(btw monty, this isn't directed towards you, just in general at the annoyance I feel at being asking my "real" name all night!)
