Signed-off-by is a contractual statement and your real name is required:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches#l339

But I'm generally going to assume that if you SoB something, it's your real 
name.  I have challenged people in the past but only when it's very obviously 
fake.  If TeLeMan is not your real name, you cannot Signed-off-by with it.
