Will the person I messaged be able to see my real name?

They will see the username on your profile when you send a message request, and when you accept one. We will remind you of this before you hit ‘send’, and before you accept a request. 

Your username is automatically generated, but you can change it by heading to 'View profile' and then 'Edit'. You can learn more about user profiles here.
