This will just make it way to easy to be caught and I'm sure that you had this in mind when you setup up this message board knowing that people need to keep their anonymity, especially on a board like this.
So for the record, I am against this.

But isn't the problem here not that they registered but that they revealed information about themselves in their username?
Why doesn't everyone just register as User0001, User0002, User0003, etc.? We'd start to get a sense of who you are after a few messages, but you wouldn't be giving hints about yourself.
Pick a username that doesn't describe yourself...
