Well... I've had the misfortune of registering domain with my real name.
My name is very unique, only one in the US, unfortunately, up to not too long ago you could google my name and some of my affiliate domains would pop up with very graphic terms.
The other stupid thing I did was form an LLC that was called Johnny Load Productions (sounds suspicious).
I pride myself in being able to read people deeply, and some people it spooks a lot when they find out.
I had one girl in a class that just randomly dropped close to the beginning as my lab partner because I hosted sites themed around women getting copious amounts of jizz on their face!
Something I really get off on!
Anyway, I work out of my house.
People get confused by it, if they do I just tell them that I sit on my ass all day!
When I tell people about how it works in a longer conversation they often become intrigued and start THINKING about running their own business/freelancing services.
No commute (good for the enviroment and that's time I can spend working)
As long as you are disciplined, it's the way to go.
