Google Wants YouTubers to Use their Full Name

Beware all the nasty commenters, google is going to change your username to your actual name. All those ladiesmen3400 and muffindogs96 like usernames will turn into their respective Google Plus account name. Google by the way wants everyone to get original name and not to hide under a username and bully people. 

YouTube-Global blog says 

"Starting today we're giving you the ability to change how you appear on YouTube, with the option to use your Google+ profile on your YouTube channel. One Google-wide identity was something that proved popular with new YouTube users when we began offering it in March, so we are now extending it to existing users.

This will give you more options for how your videos are seen and discovered on YouTube. However, we realize that using your full name isn’t for everyone. Maybe people know you by your YouTube username. Perhaps you don’t want your name publicly associated with your channel. To continue using your YouTube username, just click “I don’t want to use my full name” when you see the prompt. Stay tuned for more ways to use this username in other Google products and services in coming months."

Probably this is a good idea as it will keep spammers away from posting content. As you always know who has posted a comment the spams will be less. But it seems that a change of usernames to real names by google has been done not for the spammers and nasty commenters. Just because you can always retain your usernames, the rein of ladiesmen3400 will go on. After reading the YouTube Global Blogpost it seems they want it to integrate the whole Google Experience. Like they are linking YouTube to Google Plus.
