I get a little uncomfortable when a client asks my real name; it feels like they're trying to push my professional boundaries. I do kind of consider my work persona a character that I portray (which isn't to say I don't put a lot of myself into my job/performance), but being able to take it off and leave it at the workplace is really important to me.
On my end, I find that some clients find the anonymity really hot, whereas others want to know my name, if I have any siblings, where I went to school... It just goes to show you that everyone comes to the hobby for very different and personal reasons, and wants different types of connections.
