Because there are ways certain online criminals can track where you are, and if they know who you are also, they can use your location and your name to figure out your last name, and other personal infomation, and then use it to take your idendity (via the internet), frame you, or even worse, begin stalking you so they kidnap you.

Its Internet Safety 101, most websites where you can have an account have this policy for safety reasons. It doesn't matter how many people have your name, you just have to follow it.
