It just forced full name...

It's not possible to change the name for services independently. I'm either with my real name in a phone game, or with a pseudonym in Messages...

What a terrible idea.

I remember being taught in the 90s that you never use your real name online. Now it's just "normal" to use your full legal name to comment on the bottom of every shitty news article. How far we have let it come is increasingly disturbing.

Good thing I never use mine to sign up for any 'free' services.
