マクジェフ フロンドゾ
So why is my name in Facebook written as マクジェフ フロンドゾ? Since I intend to keep it that way for a very long time (if not permanently), I suppose I should at least provide an explanation.
First of all, it's not even a fake name; it's just the phonetic equivalent in Katakana of my first and last name, (well, according to ChatGPT). In fact, when you try to translate it in Google Lens app, it will show something like "MacJeff Frondozo." Also, my Facebook URL shows my real name. And when you do visit my profile, I've set it up to show, in parentheses, my actual birth name right next to the Katakana characters.
Anyway, by doing this, I'm effectively preventing search engines from showing in their search results any of my Facebook activities when my name is searched. It also makes it difficult to search for my posts on Facebook, at least for those who don't know how to type Katakana on their smartphone keyboards, or are just too lazy to copy and paste the characters on the search bar. So in a sense, this is just a practical means to maintain some level of inconspicuousness within the digital world.
