In the early days of Facebook you needed to have a university address to make an account. Most university students don't have fake email addresses under different names in the domain of their university.
In most cases Google+ didn't do anything to verify that an account holder used their real name. They just filtered for things that looked like real names.
They didn't check your name against your email. You needed a university email but you could, and people did, use a fake name with it, even an obviously fake one.
