Basically, the registry is taking a laissez faire approach to .name
registrations (sound familiar?)
All names will be processed (neither the responsibility of the registrar or
registry to verify the authenticity of the claim) If a certain name is in
question, then the most effective way to change the name is to challenge it
using a modified version of the UDRP...called the ERDRP which is specially
designed to handle .name challenges.

How do you know who 'he' is? Remember, 'he' is claiming to be Tom Cruise,
Jerry Springer, etc.

I don't believe there is a way to do that, save having a IP process before
hand, where Pamela Anderson's lawyers would ensure that that domain is
owned by her and not someone wanting to display pictures of her.
