If we didn't want to be called by our usernames, we'd make usernames that resemble our real names... perfect example Jen Burton. I don't want to be referenced by my 'real name'. At the same time, I don't see why I'd have to remove my 'real name' from my masthead just so that doesn't happen. For users like Ben 10 Mazter that uses an aka like "That Brony That's Awesome", it's impossible to tell who is signing the message unless you 1) recognize the 'real name' field or 2) read ALL that just to see the user name at the end of it.
