If you’re interested in joining Google+ — Google’s social network — you can now use a pseudonym. In fact, the requirement to use a real name has been cancelled. 

Google has even for being so late in acknowledging that people sometimes don’t want to use their real names:

We know you’ve been calling for this change for a while. We know that our names policy has been unclear, and this has led to some unnecessarily difficult experiences for some of our users. For this we apologize, and we hope that today’s change is a step toward making Google+ the welcoming and inclusive place that we want it to be.
