The reason I have heard is that it is a way to keep children's names off of public forums to both keep them safe and protect their privacy, the entire don't give away person information bit. However it gets confusing to me to keep track of which DS5 is which and I've found I can follow the trials and tribulations of the kids that are identified by nicknames or initials better so I nicknamed my guys for that reason. It also allows me to focus on personality over age.
