Heck, I would like Facebook to start hiring some enrolled tribal members so we can stop seeing accounts closed for having fake names. Just an FYI to any Facebook employee, the last names Good Iron, Yellow Horse, Walking Eagle, and Flute Player are an actual family names. I would welcome some diversity when talking about your customers.

Better yet, stop checking for "real" names. If I use something as a name of Facebook, it's because that's what I want to go by. What does it matter what's on my birth certificate?
Even better, let users choose whatever but have _every_ user account backed by a (not publically displayed) verified government ID.
