I really don't want to be the first to comment, and being unnecessary critical... but: Quora is Quora because of the whole real name aspect. Quality answers and everything else comes after that BECAUSE of the real name, not despite of it: readers can judge the credential of the one answering the question, and additionally, users seems to be much more hesitant in putting up crap with their name attached to it.
I guess I'm just pointing out that an "Anonymous Quora" sounds (to me) similar to a "Google without a search engine" (in the early day of Google, at least), or an "Antisocial Facebook".

StackExchange has a network of question-answer sites that are, in my opinion at least, quite good and very useful. And they don't require real names.
I don't use Quora so I can't compare, but I disagree with the idea that real names are required for quality responses and comments.

I didn't mean to say that real name is the only way to have good answer. There are definitely other ways of enforcing good content for your site. I'm just saying that the defining feature of Quora is the "real name" - at least that's the feeling I get from it.
Perhaps a Quora app that hid identity but showed some kind of "reputation score" could preserve quality while allowing anonymity.

Yeah, novelty throwaways are the first thing that come to mind.
It's anonymous, but have to login with a facebook account to post? Useless.
<sarcasm>
The questions are nothing what I expected.

Seriously? Quora has an ask anonymous function
I'm interested to ask you gals and guys what you think about things being "overdesigned". Is this a thing? We see the massive success of simple and maybe not the sexiest products all the time. I think part of that is the crappier it looks, the more likely it's someone just doing something in their garage for fun versus trying to juice user engagement to raise $1M. I like supporting individuals trying new things honestly. I'm conflicted with the latter.
Thoughts?
