If everyone else can comply, why can't you?
As far as people giving you trouble... anyone can do that anyway. Your name, address, credit history, SSN, and a lot more are already out there. Do you own a credit card? Do you have a mortgage? Do you have bank accounts? Ever bought/sold online? Ever signed up for anything online? Do you have a driver's license? A library card? Do you pay taxes to the IRS? Do you have a job?
There is more of your personal information already out there, in dozens of places, than you may realize. Dozens of places.
Do you really think that by telling us your real name, that you're risking anything? Come on, man...
