As real name you have to enter something like "John Doe", nothing more.
Then GnuPG asks you for your email address. Here you enter something 
like "john.doe@foo.bar".
Last but not least GnuPG asks you for an optional comment. Here you 
could enter for example "home".

Out of this three components GnuPG then builds a user id of the form:
	real name (comment) <email address>
