They don't need your real name. However, you can use your real name to set up the account, and you can change the name that it sends with your mail. You'll find it in the "Settings" section. I had mine as "Cowbert von Moo" originally, so privacy laws aside, I'm pretty sure they don't check. Your problem may be something far more subtle. Make sure that your web browser is Javascript enabled and allows websites to dump cookies on your computer. Otherwise, gmail will "forget" who you are right after you introduce yourself. Only Eru knows what's going on though. ;) Kris Kowal
