I don’t think customers are listening to the PAs that closely. They probably won’t remember the names of the pilots. So as far As I’m concerned I don’t care if some one uses my name or not.

I suspect you nailed. When I was a FO, I introduced the capt as Buck Rogers and I was FO John Quest. When I became a capt, I was elevated to Buck Rogers and my Fo was John Quest. Nobody ever mentioned it On the L1011 the engineer was Bandit...sometimes Hadji...but that was a different era where there were no woke police.

I think the ones that do listen are the ones who appreciate it. But you're right even they aren't going to remember... Unless they're stalkers... In which case they already knew our names before we boarded!

I mind more when he says which one of us will be flying the leg and then I clang on the landing 😏

Lots of mocking going on here, and most of it totally unjustified (not this post, just using it to springboard off of). I personally know 2 f/a’s who were found by random pax. One on Facebook, and one at her crew hotel. If someone knows your full name, your employer, and base—it’s amazing how much info an online search can turn up. So, make fun of if if it makes you think you’re one of the cool kids, but there’s no good reason any passenger needs to know your full name. First names only. Or better yet, no names at all.

What is your suggestion about name tags on the uniform?

Is it the highest threat? Of course not. Its just a basic, easy and free precaution to make certain bad things a little bit harder to do. Are you paranoid when you click your seatbelt on for a quick trip to the store? Make a slightly stronger password than required? Throw the bolt on your room door at night? Why, what are you "afraid" of? See how silly this gets?
Anyone who wants their name on blast can sequin it on their phone holsters.
