OkCupid Goes Real Names

  • 6 years ago

The online dating website OkCupid is removing OkCupid usernames. The new rules will begin with a test group, and then be rolled out to all users.
According to the site says, the goal is to have users “update their profiles with what they want their dates to call them.” So unless users actually go by LittleBunnyFuFu, they're going to have to change their name on OkCupid. OkCupid notes in a blog post the rationale behind the decision is actually for users’ sakes.
