I think it is nice that you have thought about the possible implications of this. I find this really interesting, because I remember being told not to use my real name on the internet, but I'm young enough (so I'm 22 so barely an adult) that I also have been used to using the internet for everything useful my whole life.

And I do find the internet and my blog and writing and talking to people I have never met to be really useful. But my general rule is that if it is something that I wouldn't say in public, something that I wouldn't want future potential employers, my grandparents, or (potentially worst of all) future students to read, I don't connect it to my real name. (That's why I use Alana for my blog, which is only part of my real name, and generally don't identify my graduate program or the city I live in on my blog-internet-part.)

So that's always an option. To change names and not use any super location-identifying information (http://adiaryofamom.wordpress.com/about-2/who-the-heck-are-katie-and-brooke/) or use initials or something (or probably even just avoiding last names being connected with it) is a way to still be able to write and also help protect your children's anonymity.

Just an idea.
