Hello
Always seems to be a bit of a dodgy one that.
I tend to only go as far as using the same initials. Mostly....in my experience..... people recognise themselves anyway.
To completely cover yourself use random names.
Hope that helps.
Good luck.

I'm with Tee on that one. Probably safest to use false names in order to cover your back - just in case.

Welcome to the board :D
