I am using php lightopenID on my website for authenticating Google Users. I require the email address, firstname and lastname. It works 99% of the time but there are couple of time when it I dont get the required information, sometimes the firstname and or lastname is empty.

I assume the reason I am getting empty firstname and empty lastname is because the user forgot to put those details in his google account but then I think why will Google allow such thing to happen. Is my assumption correct?

Is there something I can do from the server side when Google does not return the firstname/lastname?

    Prompt them to enter there name, or assign them as User123456 like here on stackoverflow.

    You should design your app to work even for people that dont want to share, @MathieuImbert is correct you should not force personal info from your user. create an engaging site/interface and encourage your user to complete a profile.
