<p>Is it considered unclassy to use the real names of your friends when telling an anecdote? I could refer to them by descriptive classifications, but it reads better if I use names. Please respond soon!</p>
<p>I would substitute a different name, and then maybe mention in additional info “names changed to protect privacy.”</p>
<p>sounds good. anyone else do that or something different?</p>
<p>i think it would be alright as long as you just used first names</p>
