From the rules for registering a .me.uk name on the nominet website.

7. There shall, without exclusion, be a sufficient demonstration of an abusive registration if the registrant is not a natural person and cannot demonstrate that they registered the domain name with the agreement at the time of a specific natural person, and that the domain name was a reasonably faithful representation of that person's legal name.(my emphasis)

This could be read such that a registration is abusive under this rule if, a) the registrant is not a natural person; AND b) the registrant cannot demonstrate that:

i) they registered the domain name with the agreement at the time of a specific natural person; AND ii) that the domain name was a reasonably faithful representation of that person's legal name

i.e if the registrant IS a natural person, what he/she registers does NOT have to have anything to do with his/her legal name. I wonder whether that is what they meant...?
