Double this.
I've been using the internet since 300 baud modems were all there was, and never give any real info publicly, scammers have bots collecting all that info. The least problem would be spam in your inbox, the worst ID theft or stalking. I never use my real name/address/dob when signing up to any website, even if it's only the admins that could see it... sites can and do get hacked.
The only time I use real info is for banks, utilities, shopping, site that require payments, etc., where you must give them real info. But if any of those sites include forums, use a separate username that is not your real name and don't use your real name, SS#, dob, etc. for the login info or passwords.
