Note
Use anonymous to describe a person who wishes to remain unnamed or a source described without revealing identity. The noun form is anonymity; 'anonymous' modifies nouns such as 'donor' or 'source'. Distinguish from 'nameless,' which simply means lacking a name without implying a choice to hide identity.
