Yeah, and unlike Facebook, Google was surprisingly bad at "real names". There were tons of stories about the people who either couldn't sing up - or even worse - got their accounts suspended and thus lost access to their email - because their name wasn't real enough for Google's taste.

FWIW, I've got an interesting name and FB insisted I send them a copy of my driver's license to open and account. Funny thing, since there are thousands of FB user's with that name. G+ didn't give me any such problem. So, "real name" isn't that much of a problem on G+, especially given the number of cats that have accounts.
