I think we European might care a bit more about our privacy. Just a bit, not that much more, but a bit. That way you're less "discoverable" by a complete stranger. I guess it's cultural. And I'm pretty sure that if FB tried to enforce real name in Europe they would loose quite a lot of accounts.

FB do try. I took me several attempts to create an account with an obviously bogus name. In the end I had to share a name with 312 other bogus people.
