> a first name I've never seen before

You mean you just see if the first name is not already represented in BCC's user database? Under what conditions are your users required to give you their first name? For the trial or just for the purchase?

Paypal passes a first and last name with purchases, and some customers provide theirs in Settings (it's not a requirement), so I have about 5,000 or so lying around.

You're missing the point. He refunds a purchase if he's not seen the name before plus the other two conditions. My question is: what exactly does he mean by "I haven't seen the name before"?
