Nono, your REAL name.

At work, I have to sign off on papers when I hand them to my manager. Typically, you have to first print your name and then sign next to it. So, I figure that I should probably print my given/legal name, since Jean is a nickname. My given name looks pretty "foreign" and "unspellable"... but I figure.. yeah.

So I print my given name and hand it off. My manager comes back and tells me, "Its okay, you can put your real nem when you sign off." I look at her like.. what? I seriously didn't get what she meant. And seeing my look of utter confusion, she clarifies, "Oh, you can just sign Jean."
