You get a green name if your account is under 2 weeks old, had to ask my friend who got me onto this site the same thing =)

As far as I know, that's because they joined recently, I think less than a day ago.

Just saw a green name and the profile stated that it was created 10 days ago, though every other I checked was less than a day.

Looked up a few, saw a few more of > 7 days, up to 11. So I'm guessing it means "Less that 2 weeks old"
