In Canada, anyway, there is something called the "right of paternity"
"This right includes the right to claim authorship, the right to remain anonymous, or the right to use a pseudonym or pen name."
I've heard stories that this is as far reaching as getting a bank account under a pseudonym, but I'm not sure about that. It DEFINITELY applies to publishing and copyright, which is what we're talking about. Google, in the case of G+, is a publisher.
