Hi, In the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, you may have accidentally deleted the text for your Display name. Your "Short Name" cannot be removed, so the account remains OK. You can fix this by going into the Users & Groups pane again, clicking the lock at the bottom of the pane and entering your password to unlock this pane, then you should be able to navigate around and find the field for the text of your Name. What you've done by changing the format to actually require typing of both your name and password will do the trick but you may wish to fix the Display name as well.
