Here's one telling example of the real name editor control.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jussi_Halla-aho

He's a member of the European Parliament and Facebook still doesn't allow his real surname. So he's Hallaaho, which is wrong even by Finnish linguistic standards, which state that all compound words with duplicate vowels should have a hyphen, like "Lähi-itä" which is Finnish for Middle East.
