Pseudonyms?

So, a few people have given me grief for not blogging under my given name... First, Renee is my middle name, and the nieces and nephews have called me Aunt Nee since day one. Even my youngest sister (who is the same age as my oldest niece) calls me Aunt Nee... Then, there is this:

HowManyOfMe.com

There is: 1 person with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

My mother is still convinced that someone may track me through one of my dating profiles, or this blog, and axe murder me, and a pseudonym makes her happier. Overall, I'm alright with it; besides, anyone who knows me irl can tell you the name's the only fake thing here, it's all Renee, baby :)
So, how about you all? Do you use your real name, or a pseudonym? Does it bother you, that I (or anyone) don't use my real name here?
