Real names is not going to happen. I totally understand people not wanting their name (and potentially silly questions) immortalized by google.
Lead time until posting is possible but discourages people with pressing questions.
Requiring replies will just result in a bunch of "I like this post" comments.
At some level I need to start closing/deleting questions that can obviously be found with a few simple searches to discourage the behavior. This along with a Beginner's section, and perhaps a stern reminder to search before posting may help.
Lastly I could turn on the user reputation system and/or thread ratings to help the community filter out the chaff. But that still results in a lot of simple questions to overlook.
