I think the divide isn't so much "real names" vs. "usernames", but more about what reputation you want to build for yourself.

I use a chosen name (I don't consider it fake ;) but try to only ever do things that will reflect well on me and my name. Truly anonymous people don't need to do risk their reputation whatever they do, and some with legal or chosen names showing just don't care.

I'm not sure that thought was very clearly explained, but I guess I'm saying that if you want a good reputation - do good things!
