Can everyone see your name on twitter? - werewolves1 - 11-19-2012 02:53 AM

I really want a twitter account and was wondering, do you have to put in your first and last name? Can anyone see your name even with your account on private??? I am not giong to put any information besides what you must put. Thanks!

When you change your settings in Twitter, it asks for "Name", but not separate fields for first and last name. Your name is the only piece of personal information that is required - however, it doesn't need to be your real/full name if you don't want it to be.

If you make your Twitter account private, the only thing that is hidden is your tweets. Name, location, homepage and bio are still visible to everyone.

If I were you though, I wouldn't let that stop you from getting an account Smile
