 I know this can be done as I've done it but it's hacky if it's not in
 core.

 If the name field is removed then sign up should use the username as the
 name. Having a username and then a name field is weird and confusing for
 users.

 Paul is doing profile field enhancements for 2.0 I thought this would be a
 good time to rethink if the Name field is needed.
