I would say that at least 80% of my friends and family have pseudonyms here in France. I just chalk it up to the fact that they take care to make it look close to a real name, or at least have a first and last name, even if they are sometimes hilariously fake. In contrast, I'm sure 100% of my American friends and family have their real names, yours truly included. Maybe it's a cultural thing?
