Are you sure? As far as I know, things are quite different:
- login account (that Twitter calls "Username") is public
- in my case, Username = "oobscure"
- full name (properly "Name") in my case is "Opensource Obscure"
- in your case, Name = Username = "MysticalDemina"
- other people publicly use my Username to "mention" me ("@oobscure")
- Twitter website and 3rd party apps show these names in various ways
- you can change both Username and Name in any moment
- by changing your Username, your Twitter URL changes too
Twitter fake personalities indeed exist and that's why Twitter
also implemented the "Verified name" thing, that implies
an identity verification process.
Opensource Obscure
