Anything wrong with using my real name in email aliases with organizations I have to communicate using my real identity anyway?

One example would be state disability programs, they already need my real name and identity to work with me. Are there any downsides to sharing a simplelogin alias containing my real name vs no containing my real name? I just think it would be easier record keeping for them.

I have a Gmail for all important emails that's my real name. I'm very careful to only use it for important things. I never use it for online orders of any sort.
Lol that's the one you should not use for important things
I think it’s okay, if he uses this account for government related stuff, banking, insurance, work and so on, he already lost all privacy because of them, so why should he bother with a private email for those things
So that phishing attacks go to the one with your name in it that you don't really use
Bots don't know what's a real name or fake. They'll get delirious_owl@gmail.com from a list and phish with it no different than if JohnSmith@gmail.com was on the list.
I tried to use my real-name email for "professional" shit, but I always got vastly more action with my silly one. TBF it is kinda awesome.
