Yup - It's the default setting ! Had I not checked my automatically created profile (Which I deliberately intended NOT to fill in, leaving it blank) I would never had known...
I cant say that I have ever used any service since I first started going online in the mid 90's, where alongside your 'Chosen User Name' they have added you real name too !
Imagine setting up an account for your child and finding out that their real name was there? Someone contacts your kid, who is 'PrincessElsa2001' and starts saying 'Hey Julie, how are you? Julie Sanders yeah? I sit behind you at school... You said you like this game' etc etc...
Most kids are gonna think, well they must go to my school, be the same age as me and that, cause they know exactly who I am, and how else would they know I'm PrincessElsa2001? The dangers in this are immense !
Like I said, I was legitimately shocked...
