The decision whether to use my "real-world name", as you put it, is 
solely mine and nobody else's. If I call myself "Mr John 'Crazy Horse' 
Stockton" instead of "Mr Dash Four" would that make you feel better? 
Besides, if you really, really must know - my alias *is* used in the 
Linux kernel's contributions list and people happily accepted that.

To conclude this, I haven't asked my name to be put in the co-authors 
(or any other) list of Eric's work and I won't be upset/angry/whatever 
if I am omitted from it. As I already indicated to him - I was happy to 
help (it was a good mental exercise on a Saturday morning, not to 
mention that it was educational for me too), so, for me, that's that.
