I guess I'd have to say everyone on Lush, since my name has been on my page here and the blue site since I joined back in 2009... I do realize some here like to remain anonymous, and I respect that...I have a number of people here as Facebook friends for instance, and if they tell me not to tell anyone else who they are, again I respect that... Here's my FB page btw... Alan Jankowskihttp://www.facebook.com/alan.jankowski.1In three years I never once had any problems...and I've only had one totally unsolicited phone call...and I really didn't mind talking to her...

I stick to the initial of my name until I get to know someone. When I feel comfortable I will give them an email addy to chat away from here if they want and then tell them my real name.

Just 1 person knows my full name and phone number (that is if the person still remembers). I felt comfortable with the person and established a level of trust. Things started off good, now they are pretty distant.

Everyone knows my first name if they looked at my profile. I've never made it a secret. There's only one person that knows my full name. She's a well-respected member of Lush so I don't find it an issue with her knowing.

Revealing your identity shouldn’t be a easy thing to do. Ive seen to many nutcases to allow me or my wife to use our real names online.

None, thus far.
I'm still very new here, and have yet to develop a strong connection with anybody. I don't know that I ever would, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. I have no facebook or other social networking profiles. Not even for professional purposes. The anonymity of Lush holds a lot of appeal for me. There's nothing wrong with my pen name or her life. She's as much a part of me as the name given me by my family. I don't hold a lot back from Lush when asked, so I'm not sure my legal name matters tremendously.

When I first joined Lush, it was my intent to remain anonymous, though all the details on my profile are true. Things changed and by now there are probably at least 25 people who know the name I go by IRL. There are a few who also know the name on my birth certificate. (hint: Cas is actually a combo of initials of my birth name, my nickname and my Lush username) There are 8 who know my home address, and a few more besides those who know my last name. I have met 7 Lushies IRL, spent 17 days with one in her home and had one stay with me for 3 weeks. One is a neighbor of mine and one is a friend I occasionally go out with. I have spoken, or speak on a semi-regular to regular basis with about 14 people, some of those being people I have met. I talk to one almost daily on the phone. So far, I have no regrets about doing any of this. I hope to meet several more quite soon.

Nothing makes me more angry on any site, not just Lush, when someone chooses to keep their in real life private and others who freely choose to be open about theirs, can't respect those who don't want too.
It's up to each person what they want. Not everyone is going to want the samething. As simple as a real name, or pictures, or phone numbers or even where they live..
Respect peoples wishes. They're like that for a reason. If you don't like it, don't talk to them. Or try to get to know them and let them get comfortable enough with you to possibly open up to you with those things.
Don't be a total asshat and force things onto people.

Six. And that's because I felt comfortable doing so...and have yet to regret the decision.

Two people know my full name and have a way to communicate with me outside of Lush, one of them has my phone number and we talk semi-regularly. A few others I would probably share that info with if asked.

I have shared details with one person but am not very secretive in my general communication on lush anyway.

I agree with PLAYSIT - who also happens to be one of my friends! Everyone on my friend list knows my real first name, but I do tend to keep my last name, where I work and my home address private. I too have given my email, Yahoo, MSN and/or Skype addresses out to a handful of closer friends, but they are all special accounts created just for 'Belledujour'. I also have given out my cell number to a very select few with absolute no issues at all. Everything in my profile is true, and I pride myself on being honest and authentic despite the genre. I am very selective about the people I friend and am not afraid to cut people if I feel we don't mesh well. I am very comfortable with who I've chosen to know more about me as some know much more than others - a couple of them have even made it to my Facebook. I couldn't be happier with how it's all worked out so far and feel very fortunate to have met some truly amazing people. Having said that, there are a few others I would feel comfortable sharing more of myself if/when the opportunity presented itself but until that happens, I'm a very happy girl, lol.
