My point was that your real name isn’t a cover name for us civilians.
Isn't that the point of being covert? You hand your real life out there with all it's wart and quirks. The ones that are fully ingrained and can't be questioned down because they are real. With details so unique that they don't hint at being constructed.
The one thing that is concealed is the relationship to an organization.
It was my understanding that truly covert agents go by their real names.
