Does anyone think that due to how usernames work on the Fediverse, we might get some people using their real names as usernames? (kbin.social)

I'm thinking about how emails ended up becoming. Where our first email addresses were so wacky, and slowly we just wanted out real names.

I have two accounts, one with my real name, that I want to be tied to my real life identity, and an anonymous one. They are simply for quite different purposes. I very much understand and appreciate the need for privacy by default. But for some stuff I dont mind that its public, and I actually prefer that. Like this post, for example. I'm fine with IRL people knowing some of the stuff I post on the internet. But most certainly I also want privacy, and them not knowing everything.
