I see, I see.

Good to hear, regardless.

-nods to Kris- And good day to you.

-to 47- A common courtesy that you choose not to share, is a sign of someone who is in hiding.

No, no. It really is most assuredly common.

It narrows down the criteria of what you do.

From a spy currently on operation... unlikely, because you would've given a false name if that was the case.

Same with thieves. They aren't often in too much harm for them to have a reason to not use their names.

Both people in hiding. Now you could be an organized criminal, but that doesn't seem to fit your bill. And again- they often share their names due to having to lessen suspicion.

By obscuring your name, you invite people's curiosity. And you narrow their thoughts of what you are. A paranoid man could use this to protect himself against what you, I guess, are.

A hired killer of some kind. Murder is so commonly a heinous crime in cultures, that one never seeks to be associated with it, and it carries much greater risks than planned robberies or expert thievery.

Or perhaps I just choose not to share my name.

Your choices have impacts.

On perception, mostly. You can't change that quality of perception by simply saying it's your choice to do so.

A lot of choices are based on existing information that you or someone else knows.

Really- sharing your name makes you more suspicious than someone who shares it freely.

I- am Chester Aggripson for instance. Trust is a very key thing, and I know very well that when you decide to distance yourself... no-one will return the favor, save for a few that decide to let their curiosities close the distance. And of course- the others who react in xenophobia to the outsider when things go awry.
