Why should advertisers care if you incorrectly 'spell' your name? All Facebook should care about, to support their income, is engaging real users - real names or no.

Advertisers want engaged, affluent users. Affluent users don't like getting trolled or harassed (supposedly). Real names create accountability, reducing trolling and harassment (supposedly). An application of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, if you will.
