2 questions concerning illegal names on game!

[David]

1.) A few of my friends on POTCO, have told me that it is illegal to have a pirate name such as "Michael", "Sammy", "Drew", "Steven" etc. and that you should have a pirate with two names such as "Rachel Foulfoote", "Meghan Mcmalley", "Sideburn Sal", "Christopher Swiftblade", etc.

Is it really against the rules? I started to believe them due to the fact that I dont see a whole lot of people with one name, and I see lots of players with two names.
I started to think that the people with one name were all getting banned lol.

2.) I know that having you first name as you pirate is against the rules, but how would they find out?

Could someone please tell me what they know concerning this. Thanks!
