    Is this on the suggested friends part offered by Sony? I imagine the real name is necessary to identify the person.

    It's when you are searching for a PSN ID. I thought real names are not shared. You can see real profile pictures too, the ones from Facebook

    You can choose your own level of privacy - maybe these people went for complete syncing of all their profiles.

    Okay. I didn't realise that was an option. Just thought it was strange as I'd never seen it before.
