> This account was registered using my preferred name, Nora, but when I look at hangout histories, certain locations on my android phone, and a few other places, I see my legal name popping up instead. / I don't remember actually giving this detail to Google, nor can I find anywhere within the settings where anything other than "Nora" is listed
That frustrates me. "Real Name" policies or otherwise, Google didn't magic her name out of the ether. She gave it to them at some point, whether she remembers or not.
