Well, actually - my great uncle happened to use his real name in all his 'professional' work (ie, fighting Nazis and Communists), but went by a pseudonym as far as regular living was concerned.
Besides - fake names weren't always quite used the way you mean, either. It would be more like, say, Jan Kowalski, pseudonim 'Wilczek', where Kowalski would be his real name, but for spy stuff, he'd go by just Wilczek [little wolf] - thus he'd still appear on the list as Jan Kowalski.
So in fact - the real list does contain an abundance of correct names. It's just that we don't know who was bad, who was good, the list has been changed 100 times over, and there's always a chance that the name you found actually belongs to somebody else...
