@eniko the real names policy is about "be called something like Kate Foresworth" and don't be called "SnakesAssIsThicc". It doesn't matter if there's 12 different spellings of Kate you may be known by they'll let you use any of them it's all about keeping out people who only go by handles or who wish to remain anonymous, which is largely trans people, or other minorities. The point is really not to exclude someone who changed their last name
