My context here is in the case of using real names as AV names for every day actions of other AVs (and if they have my credit card details, someone at SL needs shot).

Lets assume your real name is Nobody Fugazi and someone else's real name is also Nobody Fugazi, So you would have two Nobody Fugazi's in SL. Lets say you agree with someone to pay you directly L$ for rent. They search for Nobody Fugazi and find two, how do they know which one is really you?

If they happen to be standing next to you or are already talking to you they can ask, but if they ask both Nobody Fugazi's if its them they are supposed to pay money to, I'd bet most of the time both would say yes.

You see what I mean? Avatar keys are fine for object etc interacting with you, but when someone wants to find you via search, its the name thats important.
