Signing users up for Google accounts

We are currently in the process of signing up users to Google Apps for Educators. I was wondering about using bogus names to sign up users --in order to help maintain online privacy. Students will use their Google accounts to sign up for Web 2.0 applications. Does anyone know if there are any potential problems with this approach? Are most schools using first and last names?

Keith,

Most schools will use their student numbers for email accounts e.g. 0435@student.school.com
With this you will be able to generate email lists for import from school records easier.
