I think they should be labelled with our posting nickname, in my case lulibell,or our first name.

Otherwise we will all be changing our account settings to Genghis Khan (or other obvious aliases )
(Then what large trees we'd have then, many million ,would we be able to search our trees then? LOL)

I posted some photos on the sharing photos bit and was horrified to see that they were labelled with my full name; the post came up on google.
(No I'm not that vain that i google myself often LOL)
Be aware, and you can always delete them or change your security settings.
Hope this helps someone.
