Although you are advised to use your real name, you can change the name at any time after you create the Pinterest account. Furthermore, you can change your username from the same menu. You may need to change your Pinterest name and username to protect your privacy online. Just like other social networking platforms, Pinterest has its share of stalkers. Remember that you can always block other Pinterest users if they bother you.
