From my experience, people using Windows Live Messenger 2011 won't see your nickname, but will see your real name set in your profile, no matter what version you're using. At least I can remember that happened with a few contacts, not sure if it was all of them.

This is correct. If you have already set a name in your profile (most likely when you created your account), then anyone with WLM 2011 will be seeing that name instead.

Keep in mind that your real name doesn't magically appear out of nowhere; your name is simply whatever you feel like inputting into the Name field.
