I haven't gotten around to writing much here, but this is my SO profile which has my real name and the school I attend: http://stackoverflow.com/users/903589/wes

You don't use your real name then. You use a nick here and your first name only, as far as I can tell, on SO. Whilst the information there makes you traceable it's still not 'using your real name'; unless your full legal name is only 3 letters?
Any idea whether I can make SE show the "real name" field to anyone? I didn't realize that wasn't visible, and I don't see a setting anywhere to change that.
We consider that field PII (personally identifiable information) and don't share it. You'd have to set your display name to your real name to show it: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/67331/why-does-the-r...
