Wait for ST member to reply

Even if you are not putting yourself at risk by revealing your full name, there are little children on this site who might see what you've done and copy you, thinking that it's fine because someone else is doing it. For their sakes, it's important that we set good examples.

Well, it'd be best just to keep your first name, as Upplo said, younger Scratchers might think it's okay and share their full names.

this post makes me REALLY think

i guess, but just don't really give out any more personal info

Even if it's a generic full name, the rules are the rules. Also like @Upplo said, it can set a bad example for younger kids who use the site.

If MyNameStats is correct which it should be, there are 5.3 million people with the name John and 0.6% of those have the last name Smith, so there are 31,000 people in the U.S. named John Smith, which is pretty small, so it's fairly borderline.
