I was kinda wondering. Is it safe to write your real name on your profile page?

depends on the people. but who knows it may be safe. it may be not

How could it not be safe?
None would photoshop your name or could chase you with it or doing whatever.
You just don't have to show anyone you really don't know your pics, or if they asked you for a meeting.'cause maybe that person (questioner) is a killer or thief or rapist (if he was a guy), And many stuff.
But I don't think that writing or telling your real name to anyone isn't safe. :)

NO!!! i put my first name but my last name is isawesome so my name on here is sarah isawesome XD

I don't think there is anything dangerous about putting your name on your profile page. Unless you put your first, last, and middle name, accompanied by exactly where you live ._.
But if all you have is your first and last name and (for example) if you live in a state like Missouri, no one is going to be able to track you down from that. There are millions of people in the world, you know?

I think its fine to write your first name, people can't get that much information using only that, but I would be extremely hesitant in including my last name on my profile though. However, if you link to your facebook page in the external websites portion, people are going to know who you are if you've been using your full name (which a lot do so that family and friends can find them) there.

And FYI, hackers can only "hack" someone if you've given out all your details (full name, location, zip code, address, ect) they CANNOT track someone by name alone. This is because for any one full name, there can be multiple people non-related who share it-possibly on the other side of the globe, so unless your named 'Starfire hotpants horseshoe McHammock' there is a pretty good chance your not the only one with that name. The horror stories you do hear about people getting "hacked" are usually victims of a fake contest/survey/subscription scam, where they needed to give their full information out to reclaim a prize that they think they've won.

well i dont put my name on here cause i am FAMOUS and i dont want people stalking me

(hint: i am a male singer and i just got a haircut)

aside from that i dont see the point of it..just put your first name and youre good to go!

Just put your first name, in my opinion. I've found more pervs and loons on Facebook than on Fanpop. If you're worried about putting it here, definently don't make a Facebook. That has way more info about you on there and there are tons more people. That means more perverts, pedofiles, loons, crazies, jailbirds, rapists, criminals, theives, and horny bastards on Facebook.

it depends on what u are going to use.

Why would you? If you want your friends to know it's really you, just tell them. I don't think adding you complete name has any additional value here on Fanpop. Just your first name is enough.

Also, if your applying for a job nowadays, you'll always be 'googled'. I'm not sure if you want your future employers to think you spend all your hours on Fanpop.

the name is probably fine but all the other stuff like where you live isn't so good.

I think it's safe to put your real first name, but not your last name.

it is if u confuse them when u tell them were u live

I don't like sharing even my FIRST name anywhere online cos people from school might be on here and see my account and what i like and do. its nothing bad but i dont like people from school to know a lot of stuff about me. and then my parents might see me too and figure who my crush is and soo on and its embarrassing.

Yes, as long as you have a hint of lie like me. (No one knows my real name, only my nickname. ;) )

It depends on what other information you give. Nobody can find you with your first name alone. If you say what city you live in, what school you went to, your birthday, and show your picture too, someone can find you if you want to.

For identity theft issues, it can be. You'll never know who visits your page and is copying your info down right now. Your first name only can be fine though.
