The issue I see is that WordPress has fields for entering your first and last name, but also gives the option of setting your display name to something different (username, first only, last only.) Someone could enter their first and last name in their profile without expecting it to be displayed publicly.

Adding a ‘Use Real Name for Discourse Name Field’ option to the plugin’s SSO Provider settings would be easy to do. Unless there are any objections to doing that, I can add it to the next update.
