Anonymous vs Real Names Online

We recently had a MFP member submit a great blog post (using his real name) that has generated 11 comments so far. One of the things that came up is the issue of anonymity online. We had viewpoints from both sides of the debate. I also had a request to set-up a section on the site that only people who have been verified as using their real names can post and see the content. A couple days later, I had it all set-up (thanks to Drupal.)  I'm not sure if it will be used or not, but it's a great idea, I think. I may try to give it more play to try to entice people into getting accounts with their real name (Should I encourage people to have two accounts? Would most mainstream people do that?)  I still get a lot of statements that there's not a lot of comments/discussion at MFP, but what does happen has a great signal/noise ratio.
