I don't know. Around here the adoption is slow (and I joined only recently, already toying with leaving again). Lots of people _don't_ use the real name, but instead obfuscate it at least. It might read out loud to something similar. It might be the last name in reverse. Or it might be entirely fictional. In my (limited..) network there you'll find 60-70% with names that don't match with the name on their ID, mostly foreign monikers and twisted plays on words that even (real, the offline variety) friends wouldn't have guessed. Requiring a real name and enforcing that would be a major strike against it, I guess. Sort of like the Blizzard 'let's try that on our forums' idea..
