Re:Google services should not require real names: Vint Cerf by huggah on Tuesday March 05, 2013 @07:38PM (#5328532)
Without testing, I'm not sure, but I think Mini Kites is actually likely to be a flagged name. The last vestiges of the "real names" policy are really just to keep businesses from getting Google+ profiles (Google wants businesses to keep Google+ pages instead). So there's an ML algorithm that determines how name-y or business-y a given name is, and flags names that it thinks belong to companies rather than people. I suspect Mini Kites (and almost certainly MiniKites or Mini-Kites) would trigger the review process.
