Can you use real names in scratch projects?
I need to know if real names can be used in projects. Are they?

Re: Can you use real names in scratch projects?
Most Scratchers consider giving out real names to be sharing of personal information, so posting real names in projects is probably not a good idea (see Community Guidelines).
You can use pseudonyms [fake names] instead. 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

If the guy is named Bob though, it wouldn't help any stalkers though. 
Some people do first names, and I haven't seen last names on the site...

Re: Can you use real names in scratch projects?
I think just first name is ok. I tell people that my name is Lauren in a bunch of my projects. Its a pretty common name though, so.
My website has been approved by the Scratch Team. (^_^)
