Does WHOIS reveal your identity?

Does WHOIS reveal your identity?

I just recently purchased a domain, and out of interest entered it into a WHOIS search box. It came back with my full name as the registrant. I sent an email to nominet and they came back with the response.

I am afraid that, no you cannot remove your full name from the registry details as it has to identify the registrant, which just a surname or an alias would not do. This is all part of the terms and conditions of holding a .uk domain name.
I said even if it just had my surname, that would be more confidential. Is there anyway around this?
