 The first and last names getting reset is intended behavior for
 `wp_insert_user()` if don't pass them in.

 The issue is that you should really be using `wp_update_user()` here
 instead. Otherwise, you need to make sure to pass '''all''' userdata
 fields when you're attempting to update a user. `wp_update_user()` does
 this for you.
