Welcome to the site! How's San Juan?

You can use your first name if you want, just nothing that can identify you off-site (so no surnames, etc.), but most people stick to handles in the forum, from my experience (though sometimes that = their first name).

Hi and welcome to EC! Congratulations on coming out to your friends and mom. Hopefully, your mom will come around to it and will become accepting/supportive eventually.

Enjoy your time on EC.
