Yes, you have a point there! 

Since I've never belonged to a group that had another "Rivka", there was
never a problem of confusing me with someone else (or vice versa). But as to
the name "Jane", which is probably more popular in the English-speaking
world, it's a different matter.

If you have ten Janes and five Rivkas, it is easier to tell them apart with 
last names, real or fake. Otherwise, you would have to tell them apart by 
their email addresses. If no one is checking and it does not really matter, 
it is not terrible to use a fake last name.
