    Actually, if one uses the official Reddit app, they do have real names. It’s part of the data that the app reads out of your phone’s settings.

      The official app didn’t exist in 2011 so they likely don’t have that information unless the user kept their account and used the official app at one point

      The only place I have my name, is in “emergency information”. Are you saying apps can access that?
