The reason I went with it is because I know my friends list is full of smartasses. I know this full well, and recognized, before posting, the fact that asking for names from a group of people who I know well enough to comment about was utterly pointless, and would do nothing to teach me anything about their actual names - but it would let me see how people respond to an utterly ridiculous prompt.

There are, also, some people whose names I don't know. However, the liklihood that these people will actually comment with their names is relatively slim, so it's pretty pointless to ask for them.
