The name check gets initiated by the USCIS but I'm not sure when - whether it is when you apply for your 485 or at the time of fingerprinting. The only way for you to know if your namecheck has cleared is by sending an email like I explained above.
It is something that you may want to worry about at some point or another. A 485 application cannot be approved until the namecheck has cleared. Some people get stuck at the namecheck (security clearance) stage for many months - check out the 485 forums.
