Privacy Settings - Hide Full Name Feature

Not everyone wants their full name displayed to the world.
Some people just don't put their real name. While others do and don't care, some (like me) want it private.
 
Going to "recent logins", you can see anyone's full name and country at a glance.
I would appreciate it if this information (at least last name) could be hidden from the public if desired.
 
Thanks,

Yes, if there were a feature to hide the true name, then people who want to be anonymous might at least give their true name to the server.  Of course, some people wouldn't give their true name even then, but it would allow a middle ground between making up a name and being known to the whole world.

This would require a lot of changes since the site was not designed from the beginning to support privacy settings.
 
When the site is redone from scratch I'll be sure to add this feature. Thanks for the suggestion.

For this exact reason, my "name" is Mr Person. I guess it will have to stay that way.

Sorry about that one thing.
