How can you protect your real first and last name from being used on #nostr? Is there a solution to this (or might there be a future solution to it?

Don’t reveal yourself? What do you mean beyond that?
I mean that somebody else can make a npub and use your full name as username
No way to stop that
I was thinking of making another account with my real name as perhaps the best way to be able to show that that is the legitimate one. As a sort of hedge if nostr gets more and more adoption and impersonating rises
Why, are you famous? Is there a reason someone might want to impersonate you?
No, but thats not the point. For some others there might be a reason, especially if nostr becomes mainstream. I can imagine that for some figures it's a vulnerability.
