📄 Description

Note

This PR make the name field optional in the core user schema.

  • Email–password sign-ups are now allowed without a name.
  • Remove logic that masked missing names with empty strings or emails.
  • Since name is not used as an identifier, the impact on core logic is minimal.
  • This is a breaking change because name is no longer always returned.

Closes https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/424
Closes https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/5139

Summary by cubic

Make the user name optional across the platform. Sign-up no longer requires a name, and all APIs, types, docs, and integrations now handle null or missing names safely.

  • Refactors
    • User schema: name is now nullish; CLI generators and snapshots updated to make the column nullable.
    • API/OpenAPI: sign-up body accepts optional name; responses allow null; removed fallbacks to email/empty string.
    • Integrations: OAuth/social providers, Magic Link, Email OTP, OIDC/MCP, SCIM, and Stripe updated to work without a name.
    • Client types, tests, and docs updated (including OIDC claims parsing and SCIM name formatting).

Written for commit 66f62c9bda. Summary will update on new commits.
