is it illegal to put someone else's first and last name in combination on your Livejournal?

I don't think its technically illegal but it's not wise because you are violating someone else's privacy if you give out their full name.  I'm sorry you got in trouble and I don't think it's the school's place to correct an issue like this unless you did it while you were at school and in that case maybe the issue was more about using this type of website inappropriately. Either way, lesson learned, right? Don't use other people's names even if you're not saying something "bad" it still could be information they'd rather not have posted online.

I have an LJ (LIveJournal) account and I am constantly updating. Personally, updating my LJ helps me cope. I have a pretty tough time sharing my thoughts of the day to people, and I find it easier to just write it all down online, where: 1. I can write massive amounts and my hand will not hurt (try doing doing that with paper and pen!) and 2. I know my friends will be able to read my entries and comment.

Nope. Titles like that, unless they appear on the Birth Certificate, need no legal changes.  The same goes for lawyers who put Esquire after their names.

Yes - Even if YOU don't say your name is... (Let's say "Lisa,") your friend may leave a comment on your site saying something like "Hey, Lisa, Great Party at Ralf's Friday Night!"\n\nIf your friend lists information about themselves, anyone can figure out who you are, where you live, etc...\n\nBe safe - if you're under 18, use EXTREME CAUTION, or, do the safest thing of all - don't use myspace at all.

Neither of these statments is even close to being true.  If someone spoke the line you said and another changed it, the term for what the second person did would be "misquoting".  The term for what the first did would most likely be "libel".

Usually, there is no law (in any country that I know of) regulating what is posted on a blog.  Especially if it is a comment by an annonymous user.

Your yahoo id is really an email account name -- and email addresses are not case sensitive, which is why most are force to lowercase -- whether this is ultimately a good practice is an open question.\n\nHowever if you want to create an email name where your first and last name is clearly separated you can do that by adding a dot in the name so that "myname@tahoo.com" can be written as "my.name@yahoo.com" -- if you go to Yahoo mail options you should be able to find a "extra email address" option which should allow you to get a second email address associated to your account.

no, but if your in doubt just change the names before you tell the story. its still funny that way, all that matters is you know who your talking about... and the smart ones will catch on.

I changed it because someone hijacked my name and used it to post profanity. What do you think I should have done instead? Are you the person who hijacked it? It's interesting that you've posted your question in so many places. Why would you care unless you're the person who used my name?\n\nAh yes... stole my photo, too. This proves it.

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

You don't need to add anything at all except to type the email address correctly\n  because everybody has its own unique user name regardless where he/she lives .

no, just include your name in the gift of your friend.  it would still count as one invitation.

Probably only if you are changing your identity to protect yourself.  I can't think of another instance.  Even when you change your name, you get the same #.

No, it is already implied that it could be used since it is a newpaper column.  Also, since she doesn't use your real name, she doesn't need permission.
