I voted "no" primarily because the rep system is supposed to be light-hearted fun, not a way of ganging up on people because they dislike your posts and neg repped you.
Either leave it anonymous or remove it altogether IMO.
Nobody with a reasonable amount of weight when it comes to handing out reputation neg reps people for fun - so the only time you're likely to get anon neg rep is from someone who's rep doesn't count anyway. It's a total non-issue.
The idea of the rep system is to say "yeah nice post", or "that was immensely unhelpful". Not a way of saying "oooh look at me, I've just repped you, why don't you rep me back".
I often positive rep, sometimes leave my name, sometimes don't. When I neg rep (and it's rare - normally to people who make repeated time-wasting posts), I sign my name.
No doubt this vote will be a landslide in favour of "yes" though
