Should it be impolite to ask for a person's real name?: privacy in the age of Big Data

Simple really, i act like everyone on the internet is a ten year old boy in Korea. I thus always act to maintain my privacy and security...
What is interesting is I met my current significant other over the internet, we had a marvelous adventure proving our real identities to each other while maintaining our personal security.
I simply tell people this my name is Greg, age over 50, Florida. Those three things i think tell 99% of everyone and anyone all they could reasonably want to know about me; age gender handle and location, obviously i also understand English. Why would any online person need more info than that???
Probably for no good reason in my opinion...

Unfortunately, I haven't been practising what I preach. I was digitally promiscuous for many years. It was only after the Snowden revelations that I started to take privacy seriously.
