We use SSO on our Discourse forum, and we would like to grab the forum users’ Full Names from our database, however we would also like to respect our users’ right to privacy, and as there is no option to hide these if they so choose, it seems there is no way for us to have our cake and eat it too.

It would be nice to have a feature where users can choose to show their full name on their profile. So it could still be passed over in SSO, but the user can choose whether to display it or not.
