So government ID + some reputable source (news article, etc.) that links your real name to your professional name, and then it can’t change.

  There is Facebook for that, used by no one.

    Facebook policy is to require a real name for every user. I'm struggling to see how that's relevant here. If you want to tweet under an anonymous pseudonym -- great! We are talking about an optional verification feature for a subset of users who are at risk of impersonation. These people choose to participate in this program because they want their identity to be clear and legitimate.

      Maybe I've seen less Twitter users that satisfy (famous && real name && at risk) than normally observed...
