Deryck has raised a fair point on real names on badges, as this would rise up during checking-in: for real names do you mean the one on documents or do you mean the one we are normally called? I'm usually called Alan but it's nowhere in my official identification papers bear that name! I'm not sure about the situation of Deryck but I supposed many Hongkongers could face a dilemma if a strict real name policy is pursued at the door!

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,
