using your real name

[TeamTimmy]

I hardly ever see people using their real names, first + last, as user names on forums like this one, and it seems like it might be a good networking opportunity to do so. Is there any reason why people wouldn't want to do that?

It seems you me you could put yourself in danger of getting extra spam by doing that. Or, at least, you could have creepy people with nothing better to do searching your name on Google!
