The primary concern with using your real name online is that the internet doesn't forget. Anything you post with your real name is attached to you forever. If your name is very unusual, then one can also probably obtain your address, phone number, and vital statistics by punching it into a search engine. Essentially, it sets you up for such things as spam, identity theft, harassment by those who disagree with you, that kind of thing. You could have no problem whatsoever... but it's best not to take a chance.
I suggest you contact the webmasters, explain that you do not wish to use your real name, and ask if your account can be suitably modified. They shouldn't have a problem with it.

You shouldn't give your entire realy name online because people canstalk you and track you down and rape/ kill you.
