Depends on the contract you have with the service provider. Despite a 
very large number of counter-examples[1] which seem to have crept into 
their userbase, Facebook say you can only use your real name. And have a 
process for allowing minor variations or nicknames.

I'm not sure they allow members of the public who have a privacy issue 
to become anonymous, but suspect they have some law enforcement and 
social workers who do.
