We definitely understand concerns surrounding privacy issues vs security issues, particularly in the US, and we want to accommodate all attendees who wish to keep their real names off their badges. We'll be looking into security requirements, but, for now, the established status quo of providing either your real name, user name, or both is still in place. I'm hoping that doesn't have to change.
Sincerely,

I agree. There is going to have to be some room for manoeuvre on that.

I think there are a number of regular Wikimania attendees who, for privacy reasons, would not like to use their real names at Wikimania and other offline Wikimedia activities. Enacting this new rule at this point could turn them away, just saying...

For security reasons, the first and last name MUST be on the badge. Only the username and affiliation can be optional. Those who do not want their real name associated with a username should only provide their first and last.

First Last Username (optional) Affiliation
Actually, I am pretty sure some people do not wish to have their real name printed on the badges alongside their nickname. I can't remember if the question was asked (I hope it was), but the end result should probably be something like:
First Last (optional if Username is provided) Username (optional if First Last is provided) Affiliation (if provided)
best,
