I think that you're an exception to the norm. I think the most obvious
way to find out what happens most often is to poll everyone.

Does your campaign involve travel, how often, and how far and where is it
centered?

My campaign does involve travel frequently but rarely beyond CAS borders.
Any adventure can usually occur around the greater Carolina areas (which
can be considered an extended home area). The home city is the greater
Charlotte Sprawl.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
