Google has shown that it is serious with its real name policy for its newborn Google+ social networking site. Several users have already suffered the wrath of this policy when they found their Google+ profiles and data suddenly shoved into nothingness.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
People with regular names don’t have to worry about this. Even people who use pseudonyms can work around this limitation by using their real names. But what about people who have strange names? Not everyone is blessed with a regular-sounding real name. People like:
1. Sage Moonblood (Sylvester Stallone’s daughter)
2. Sunday Rose (daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban)
3-5. Racer, Rebel and Rogue Rocket (Robert Rodriguez’s children)
6. Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee’s son)
7-9. Dweezil, Diva Muffin and Moon Unit (Frank Zappa’s children)
10 and 11. Zolten and Moxie Crimefighter (Penn Jilette’s children)
12. Kal-El Coppola (Nicolas Cage’s son)
13. Poppy Honey (Jamie Oliver’s daughter)
14 and 15. The two guys — one is from Texas, the other from Michigan — named “ESPN”.
I, for one, am rethinking my plan of naming my first child “Monkeypunch Deathshark” because of this policy.
Well, that girl in New Zealand whose mother named her Talula Does the Hula in Hawaii will never stand a chance here…
Also:
* Bronx Mowgli Wentz
* Bandit Lee Way
I don’t like this policy at all. It’s just a way for Google to make itself look even better to potential advertisers. If I don’t get any of that money, then why should I bother with having to use my real name? Misterdoe/Bryan Doe is good enough for Gmail, iGoogle, YouTube, Google Docs, and so forth and so on, so it should be good enough for Google+…
