There are already some anonymous users who do this, examples "The Kid Jr." and "The Brave Might Express Gaine" and so forth. I think if anonymous users want to be identified by a username, they should create an account under that name.

Also, you must remember that any anonymous user could sign their comment just like another anonymous user, and if no one checked to see if the IP addresses matched or not, then nobody would be able to tell the difference between the two. If they created an account, other users wouldn't be able to impersonate them.
