What are your thoughts on it? I for one would never put my real name in my GT. I don't know why, but I just think it's a bad idea.

I had mine on it. It gets annoying eventually when people start insulting you by name. You know, it makes it more personal.
I remember doing it when the ability to register first came out and I didn't even have a console yet. I thought "I have it on my email, why not on my gamertag?".

Yeah I wouldn't ever do it. It's not that it's bad (though it can be), it's more of the fact that Gamertags and Emails are supposed to be creative and fun (at least for me), and just using your regular name takes away from that experience.
That sounded a lot better before I typed it...

99% of the people on my friends list know my first name (most know my first and last...and a lot of them even know my address 
)but I know them all fairly well and have met almost all of them in person at SG meet-ups (annual parties/get-togethers we have at Seasoned Gamers).

Don't lie you know it's your long lost account you forgot how to log into!
As far as the namething most people still just call me "KSU" for some odd reason thou "BigMike" is easier to say?
I'm still waiting for someone to call me by my nicknames on my profile?
"The Count of Monte Fisto","The Master of Disaster",
"The King of Sting,","The Dancing Destroyer"

Maybe people shouldn't use numbers in lieu of letters............it's called an alphabet for a reason..........so if people can't pronounce your name because of this then maybe they're not retarded, the person who doesn't know the alphabet is............
In reference to the thread............never use your real name. I don't let people call me by my government name that I work with or even know...... my baby momma doesn't even call me by my real name........

My name is in my GT, and I mostly get called krow-berts or kraw-berts which is fine by me. I think it has a lovely ring to it, anyway.
