Do people who go by initials (W.C.Fields, JJ Redick) instead of their real name trying to hide something?

There are a few reasons why they might do this:\n\n1) Because they do not like their full name.\n2) Because they want to appear more professional.\n3) Because they do not want others to have difficult in pronouncing their name (I would certainly do that).\n4) Because they wish to abbreviate or shorten their name.

If he/she is afriend why would you want to remove your real name

Perhaps it is your name or surname, or a combination of both?

good question. I know that most were references to someone's father or trade as in smith was a metal worker or jackson was the son of jack, they came about when there were too many people for just a first name to identify someone without confusing them with someone else.

I agree most strippers use stage names. If you want to have a stripper name use your middle name as your first and then the street you grew up on as the last. Hasn't everyone gotten that e-mail when it went around.....

In Yahoo, you have to edit your profile information. When you first signed up to use your screen name, you put, first, last, etc. Go back and remove the anme you can use initials instead

Yes. have them look into it. there could be another person with the same name. have them match the SS # to validate the info.

Would you believe it's because you were dumb enough to sign in under a different name without realizing it?  LOL  Yep, I'd believe it all right.

Perhaps.  Name names, dates and places.  Your hiding behind a nickname aren't you?

Sometimes when famous people write their memoirs, they have to leave names out for legal reasons. I'm sure if this is the case that all parties involved are sworn to secrecy, so it may never be known.

The reason some people type G-d instead of typing the whole thing is because in some religions it is disrespect to write the whole name in.  Why they dont is because we don't want someone printing it out and defacing G-d's name(on purpose or not on purpose).  One of those such religions is Judaism.

No, that would show possessive use.  The s after the name is just fine, and actually grammatically correct.

I try to be. I am one of the few on here who uses their real name. If more people did this (or were required to do this) there would be a lot less name calling.\n\nWhat we see a lot on here is people, hiding behing a screen name, attacking the character of others based simply on their stated beliefs on one issue while ignoring the persons justification for their beliefs. I have done this, as have you. It is easier to attack someone you've never met than someone standing in front of you. \n\n“The human being who would not harm you on an individual, face-to-face basis, who is charitable, civic-minded, loving and devout, will wound or kill you from behind a veil.” - Morton Mintz\n\nExcellent question. I've often wondered about this myself.

There maybe more than one person with the name but from my source have given you a page where search for the name is listed. I hope this will answer your question.
