So..now you know, hopefully you didn't add the person as a friend, cause even if you change name, you'll be on his friend list, even if you remove him from yours (which is really a dumb system), you will be on theirs. So if you want 100% anonymous, server switch would be the only way.
People still can see if you switched servers and the new name, because the dumb system you mentioned before keeps working for crossworld friend lists. But yeah it's common sense to not go around giving your personal information to everyone. I've told some few friends my real name, but that's it. We all agree to keep using our in game names while playing.
