Yes, you don't mess with camp tradition, it only results in bad things happening.
That being said: some traditions suck. And this particular tradition can also be damaging.
There is nothing wrong with camp names - just the mystery the surrounds it. On the first day, tell your kids that your name is Ashley and your camp name is Paris Hilton...is that so hard?
I've seen lots of arguments against camp names - but not a single good argument as to why it's a bad thing to tell campers your real name. Any of you girl scouts wanna give this a shot?
