Are you aware that you can use Google+ with non-real names? I see loads of them. Many people use a handle. Nobody who uses Google+ every day complains about Nym

- zmmmmm 13y agoMaybe you should check their policy [1]. Clause #13 states that you should use "the name your friends, family or co-workers usually call you". Their support page [2] very clearly states that your account may be suspended for violating the policy. Google may have softened their line on enforcement, but unless you're willing to risk having your whole account randomly suspended (along with who-knows-how-many other Google services will go with it), that doesn't really do you much good unless you are treating it as a throwaway account in the first place.

- wyclif 13y agoA policy that isn't enforced isn't a policy, even if it's written. I seem to recall a relevant quote from King Gustav V of Sweden: Never make a law you cannot enforce. Bad policy-making by Google? Certainly. But nobody is getting suspended for using a nom de plume on Google+ now.
