Inconsistent Portal UX: "Display name in signup form"

[alexgmathews]

Issue Summary

In the Ghost Admin settings, you can go to [Membership] > [Portal Settings] > [Customize] > [Signup Options], and turn off [Display name in signup form].

If a new member registers, Ghost will just ask them for their e-mail address. After registering, the member can sign-in, click on [Account] to open the member portal, and then click [Edit] to open [Account Settings].

There are two inconsistencies here:

1. The name field still shows, even though it was turned off in the sign-up form. For a consistent user experience, it would make more sense if the name field was also turned off here.
2. The form forces the member to enter their name to update their e-mail address.

Do you want to remove [Name] field in [Your Account] panel?

It seems to me like the name field should be optional if the name is not required in the portal settings.

I'd be reluctant to hide it entirely, unless there's a plan for the case where the member has a name in the system but cannot edit it because portal isn't showing the field...
