I don't think this is really a case of a "real name" policy gone awry. For starters, to be a Lyft driver, you have to supply your driver ID (including your official name). The issue at hand seems to be the names the drivers choose to be visible to users on the app, e.g. "Jon" instead of "Jonathan". If Lyft had a real name policy, they would just force drivers to display their name as it appears on their submitted driver's ID.
