That would be pointless.

Not if Friend Codes run in the background as a sort of "identifier".

If they just wanted to cover their asses they could make it default to requiring both people to enter codes but having a setting in the menus, under parental controls, that allows people to send you friend requests. That way you only get requests if you specifically say you want them.

I figure all it will really amount to is a Unique identifier.  I give you my Friend code so you can add me.  This allowing my actual name to be whatever without having to be unique.

Isn't that basically what the 3DS already does?
