A brief, but significant, announcement

Yamaraashi-chan and I had a conversation yesterday evening, and one of the things we decided was that she no longer needs to be protected from the Internet by a psuedonym. She has her own Facebook account, which in true 13-year-old style is full of "OMG!"s, idle worship of idol celebrities, and the occasional shout of "Life is too confusing!", and it is under her own name.

Therefore, she would like me to stop calling her Yamaraashi-chan in print, and refer to her by her given name,

I guess "real" is meant to imply "legally given name at birth." I add the "at birth" because many people legally change their names.

I don't know if its the same in the US. But in Australia the name that most people know you by is your name legally.
