Are we supposed to save the username in addition to their name or can we just have their name be username?

I think the username replaces the formal name that you would type in the form as the author of the question or answer entry. So you'd completely remove the textbox for the name, and instead use the username of what is currently logged in to the session.

MBUISIN is right.

You may keep both username and name (and other user information like email address etc.) if you want, but at the very least you should have username, which serves as a unique identifier for a user.
