Question about Forum rules and " Actual name"

[Guest bobsk8]

I read the part about " Actual name" in the forum guidelines when I started posting here a couple of weeks ago. I assumed that actual name meant your first and last name, so that is what I put in my signature, although I have made it a habit of not doing this in the past, on web sites. I have also noticed that quite a few people that posted no name at all, were reminded in the replies to their posts, to use their names per the rules. In reading many messages on this group over the last week or so, I see quite a few with just a first name only , listed. I read three today alone. I haven't read any comments about using only the first name. Is that is what is mean't by actual name, just the first name?
