Default On first name terms.

I would like to see the users profile pages contaning a first name field.
It seems so much more friendly when replying to posts to use a person's first name but at the moment it is difficult to know a user's name if they don't actually include it in their signature.

I agree Kevin. Sometimes feels odd when replying in a thread to refer to someone using their username -some of the usernames are quite strange .

This would be nice. I am more comfortable using a persons name rather than a unique screen name when replying to someone.... more personal that way. It would be nice if everyone included (at least) a first name in the signature field

This was brought up before and didn't get much besides sarcasm.

Well it's hard to get people to show their true identity on forums like this. Personally I'd prefer it if people had their full name as their username. I think it makes for more civilised conversations, and adds a seriousness to threads that can get lost when posted by people with silly names. Having said that, I'm not changing my silly name for anybody .

Some people are really concerned about information on the internet. Even at that one could make up a Jane/John Doe for the forum. Nobody has to know that it's not your "real" name.

What do you mean "silly names"? FoF is my real name. I just put the one below to throw people off.

True, for example Lee4145 is not on my birth certificate anywhere...
