I have my doubts about that since they also seem to go on spurts of banning Native American using their real names.

I don't know Native American names, but I guess the filter classifies their names as having too much entropy when compared to the other 1.1bn FB users.

1.1bn gives a pretty exhaustive list of common names for a given country region.

Well, its a known problem and their continued foolishness is a pain to people including those who do not work for Facebook but have to deal with ticked people because they are the local computer person.

If the last name is a person with a Wikipedia entry then their pretty exhaustive list is not very exhaustive.
