Readable Names
by anatol broder on WordPress.org

The comment form gives a decent hint.
This plugin asks commenters to write their names in the language that your blog uses. Using readable names written in your blog’s native language will enhance the discussion. Strangers who want to leave comments on your blog, have to speak your language.
Customizing predefined rules can create your own slang.
Less spam is a welcome side effect on non-Latin alphabets.
