I definitely think having your full name attached to your account makes you double check what you post - however I will still speak my mind on certain topics, even if they may seem a bit odd to post about.

I only recently decided on this route after 17 years of going by nicknames/handles. I think I am mature enough now to know how to handle what I say, and will always think twice about what possible future employers might find or anyone else from my personal life. If they have an issue with what I post under my full name, then so be it, but at this point it has been a rational decision to do so.
