I don't see the privacy concern with using your name... My name isn't exactly a very common name, and if I do a people search using my full name, there are over 60 different people with the same name in my state alone. Someone with a more common name like my girlfriend shares her full name with like 300 people in our state alone.
I agree - Yes . . . many people have common names, however there are even more without the common name also . . . and if you have ever been "violated" by someone using you name and other personal information - you might better understand the problem . . .
Just as an FYI: While I do not have that much to worry about (Financially and I am on an extremely limited income) - I do have a couple of friends who have been violated - one taken for over $150K and then another friend who is still fighting in Federal Court to reclaim their "Life" (i.e., credit cards taken out in their name, unknown "Bills", Child Support for 5 children [NO NOT THEIRS], Check Fraud, etc etc etc) . . .
Get the picture, and it all started with someone having their name and then being able to get their address and then a copy of their SS# . . .
SO - While a name maybe common - someone's life is not . . .
