maybe some people are a little shy about giving out praise, but i understand what you mean though.
You dont have to leave a message along with it, it would just be a blank Rep with a username at the end. Im sure no one is shy about simply saying thanks to somebody?
Also as i said, some user probably arent even aware of leaving a message along with the rep So this would still ensure there 'Thanks' was noted by the other member.Personally when i have been left nice rep with no name i would like to know it was from.
It would also save people having to report abusive/Sarcastic rep to the mods as im sure it would be dramatically reduced if your name was left.
