Both Kicksend and Snapjoy insist on Real Names, very irritating. (Is it a YC trend?) Will you purge accounts that don't use them G+ style? Will I upload a bunch of files, have them no where else (your average person) and then find out they've disappeared one day because of an inane real name policy with no recourse? How about if I don't have a last name, and have to make one up to fill out your form? You'll get real names with payed accounts, but it's otherwise unwelcome.

True Names, broken though the model is, are the fad of the hour because Google is hell-bent on them. And since it is the fondest wish of many funded startups to be bought by Google, nobody is going to get fired for doing exactly what Google is doing at any given moment.
