According to the proposed reform, yes, or at the very least make a reasonable effort to do so. However, as I said way up above, it's easy to just type in a fictitious name. The only possible way to ensure that you have the person's name and address is to do a credit card verification, but even at that it's not fool proof and people can still use a ficticious name. How they plan on ensuring that people are giving their real names is beyond me, which is why the proposed reform probably will not become a reality.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
