Then, of course, there are people like me. Some 20 years ago now, I legally changed my name to be my online pseudonym. It might not sound real, but it is now my real name...

There are several people who've done the same thing. The man now known as MegaZone is one.

(btw, presumably you kept a surname, for convenience's sake if nothing else? So very many things fall over, from ecommerce to random form-filling and bank applications, if you don't have a surname...)

No, I didn't keep a surname. And yes, only having a single name does cause all manner of things to fall over. I've got used to it by now...
