Is there a preferred user name for the installation?

I value anonymity when using Qubes.
If I use my real name as my user name when installing, will there be any privacy issues?
Or is there any particular problem with using my real name as my user name?

Is there any benefit to using your real name?

It’s not the easiest thing to change later, fyi.

I always install with the dom0 username set to “user”, which also happens to be the default for the VM username.
