It can be your real name, if you so choose, but you should be aware of <a href="#Real_names">the risks involved</a> in editing under your real name. Wikipedia usernames are <a href="/w/index.php?title=Case_sensitivity&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Case sensitivity (ಪುಟವು ಇನ್ನೂ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿತವಾಗಿಲ್ಲ)">case sensitive</a>, but the first letter is always automatically capitalized.

If you choose "Dr. Franz Schröder", then your doctorate will be evident on history pages and, unless you change your signature, on all posts to talk pages. If you prefer to be less formal, leave off the title.

However, it should be a name which other users will be comfortable with and which does not interfere with the project. A controversial name may give a bad impression to other users, and avoiding this is in your own interest.

However, users who are reluctant to register a new username and are otherwise showing a positive history of contributions to Wikipedia should be allowed to continue editing in a positive fashion and the matter should be dropped.
