I'm surprised "Lone Hill" would even register. "Hill" is a perfectly ordinary European name, and "Lone" can be short for "Magdelone", or "Lonetta" or a lot of other things. It's nothing like "Sitting Bull" or "Kicking Bird" or "Crazy Horse".

- AlecSchueler 12y agoA few years ago I decided to phase out my pseudonymous Alec Schueler username and begin using my painfully common real name (John Hill) on certain websites. Quora in particular refused to accept it, and asked me to prove that this was in fact a real name. Instead, I decided to add them to my host file and haven't used their services in the 3 years since. I had a pretty strong emotional reaction to this policy. I can imagine it would be pretty distressing to run into this problem as e.g. a Native American or transgender person.

It seemed pretty obvious to me that she got flagged because she changed her name after eight years of Facebook use, not because of what she changed it to. She wonders why white people with hippie name accounts don't get shut down, the obvious answer is, they do all the time and she just doesn't know about it. And they typically don't get shut down unless the account does something suspicious, or someone reports it.
