I think verification is probably a good thing, but with an admin blue tick rather than public knowledge. If you can find somebody's real name and know roughly where they live, you can easily find their address and given that we often talk about our bikes, it makes it simple for the more nefarious in society to know exactly where to nick specific bikes.
GF works for an online safety charity and so I hear loads of stories of things like this happening, even through Strava start and end points.
