I was trying to “Like” a “blogspot.com” article and wanted to CAPITALIZE my first name. Here is the crap I got just to CAPITALIZE my first name only!

That means that you might try out new features that are still in development, or even run into technical issues from time to time. Don’t worry, it’s still a lot of fun!

Names on Google+
The name you’ve provided doesn’t look like a name to our system. If this is a business name, please sign up with your own name and then create a Google+ Page for your business. If this is an alternate name (such as a nickname, maiden name, or name in another script), please sign up with your full name; you can add this alternate name once you’ve signed up.
If the name you want to use is in fact the name you commonly use, you can help us to correct our mistake by submitting an appeal.

Names on Google+
We want users to be able to find each other using the name they already use with their friends, family, and coworkers. For most people this is their legal name, or some variant of it, but we recognize that this isn’t always the case and allow for other common names in Google+.
Please keep in mind that if you’re using this name to hide some part of your identity from other users, your behavior on a service like Google+ might inadvertently reveal information to others that you’d rather keep private. For example, the following actions could all lead to other users connecting your Google+ profile with your identity in other contexts.
- Posting or being tagged in photos of you
- Circling or interacting with people you know in other contexts
- Using check-ins or displaying other location information
- Adding biographical information to your profile
Also, if you have used this Google Account in the past and took social actions (for example, sharing posts, commenting on others’ posts, or sending email), then those actions will likely still show the name that was associated with your account at that time. Learn more
The URL for your profile does not change, and since the name field is always public, anyone who has the link to your profile (or includes the link in their Contacts) will see changes you make to your profile name.
If you’re okay with these considerations, you can continue to submit your appeal for review. Reviews are typically completed within a few days.
Your profile is disabled while your name is being reviewed. You won’t be able to make full use of Google services that require an active profile, such as Google+, Reader, and Picasa. This will not prevent you from using other Google services, like Gmail.

Submit your name for review
Please provide online or offline information that demonstrates that the name you want to use on Google+ is the name that you commonly use.
Please provide your email address.
Proof of established online identity
Provide a link to an established online identity with a significant following (such as those from other social media sites) where you are referred to by the name above. You may be required to link to your Google+ profile from the site provided to prove that the page or profile you link to is in fact yours.
Add another link
Offline documents
Attach scans of official documents (such as a photo ID or passport), newspaper articles, or other printed media that refer to you by this name. We’ll delete it after the review and won’t use it for any other purpose.
Anything you submit will only be used to verify your name. We won’t use it for any other purpose.

Your profile is suspended pending review
Your profile is currently under review to make sure it is in compliance with the Google+ Names Policy and User Content and Conduct Policy. Reviews are typically completed within a few days.
During this time, you won’t be able to make full use of Google services that require an active profile, such as Google+, Reader, and Picasa. This will not prevent you from using other Google services, like Gmail.
If approved, your profile will have normal access. Otherwise, you’ll see an email that your request was denied and your profile will continue to be suspended. At that point, you can still re-edit your profile or name and submit it for review.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Is Google trolling for user data? Why do I have to prove my identity? My email has my last name! Even Facebook.com doesn’t allow the CAPITALIZATION of both first and last names. My agent name is in CAPITALIZED letters! I hate Google and will stop using Android on my smartphone starting March 1, 2012 when Google requires users to agree to their crap. I also hate Facebook.
