There is no way for groups.io to determine by software whether the populated Display Name corresponds to anybody's real name, either by parsing incoming message headers or fact-checking what they enter in dialog boxes. For that reason what you're looking to achieve will always require some form of human intervention. Using the Restricted method of spam control and the Pending Subscription notice for screening purposes as Shal suggested is probably the best way to go. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/8155?for details.

All that said, I would really like a feature that freezes the Display Name once populated to keep folks from subsequently changing it.
