Is there a way to get the user’s first name or entire name? I mean the user of the phone
does it require special manifest permissions?

Yep, starting in ICS you can read the profile of the device owner (which requires the READ_PROFILE permission):

Specifically the DISPLAY_NAME column should have their name. Or you could look up the StructuredName data item to get their GIVEN_NAME:
