no, but, if you were so worried about such matters, you could create a new Apple ID with a separate none descript address, and add that to your overall Apple ID.
I have two addresses currently with my Apple ID in terms of FaceTime, and I can use either for outgoing and / or incoming. So, in my case both have my name in, there's nothing stopping the overtly concerned person having another for this purpose.
