Name changes

Ok, now, i'm not exactly new to this site, but i am still a hobby virgin, everytime i get the nerve to maybe try it, i see a thread on here that makes me back off, mainly way too much drama for what i think hobbying is, but any way, why do some providers change their name name and try and hide their face as if no one will know who they were ?
Hiding faces:

Perhaps they don't want their family/friends/other job find out

Name change:

Perhaps a lady is full of drama and has a bad reputation and is trying to pull crap under a new name.
Perhaps a lady had some personal issues to deal with and needed to make the change.
Maybe she has a stalker.

There are a number of reasons for these things. Too long of a list really.

Because we do not know the reason for a name change, do not post a lady's past name with her present. If the reason is a stalker or some other safety issue it do her serious harm. I know that people like to play the guessing game, and speculate about why so and so became so and so. Don't do it. It is a form of outing and is not allowed here.

Your success in the hobby is based on discretion, yours and hers.

The pixeled/mosaic/swirled faces in photos is the provider being discrete. Once a photo is on the internet its out there and out of their control.

Name changes might be the result of being outed, stalker action, or just marketing.
