is a name obligatory?

Hello
In the basic buddypress there seems to be no place to ask for name and surname– just a username.
Is this correct or am I missing something?
Are the email + username the only absolutely necessary pieces of information that buddypress requires for new member registration?
I know that I can create other profile fields, but this is not about that. I just want to know if I’ve understood what comes out of the box.
thanks in advance

A username, email address and password is required.

If you activate the Extended Profiles component, then the first field “Name” is also required. A “Surname” field will need to be created by yourself, but once you do, you can set it as required if you want.

If you want to do comparisons, Twitter does not ask for a last name either.
