Comment:

 I can't reproduce the issue (trunk and 2015 theme) where the first_name
 becomes empty by updating the name in the buddypress profile. But, if ones
 name in the bp-profile is only one word then last_name will be set to
 empty (if it has a space in it then the first word will be first_name and
 the following last_name). I can see that this could maybe be a bit
 confusing, but also quite in line with the spirit of 'BuddyPress to
 WordPress profile syncing'.
