When the user is entering the account information, the 'Name' field seems to be related to an account name, which is actually misleading. As I can see this field is called 'real_name' in the config, in the code and even in the relevant glade file 'login.glade':

<object class="GtkLabel" id="label: real_name">
 ...
 <property name="label" translatable="yes">N_ame</property>

Good job at keeping it straight for the developers. But I think now it's time to stop confusing the users as well, change the actual label contents displayed to users to 'Your name' or 'Real name' and update the translations.
