Real Name has a broad definition. A real-sounding name seems to  
be good enough.

In the case when one-word alias is used, often it is  
satisfactory to announce one's "real name" in the signature.

Fidonet echos aren't really that much more strictive than the  
heavy-handed control that an othernet can impose.   ;)

There's a big difference between a real-sounding name and a  
handle.
