Should we require the real first and last name in member profiles?

<br />Some members have suggested that we require the real first and last name to be used in member profiles. The argument in favor of this being that if we're going to have a real community here, know each other's real names is a good start. Currently, we require only a username, email address (which is never divulged), and password. This might help to eliminate some of our spammer registrations (of which we get about 20 a day.)
What do you think?
Also, should we make other information mandatory such as city/state/country?

<br />If it helps cut down on the amount of work Jeff has to do-- I also like the thought of it being more honest and friendly.
Sounds like a good ideal to me.

Something like that. But not require.
