The FirstName and LastName are required. It's usually displayed in the format First Last. You can also optionally specify the MiddleName
The Email is optional, but highly recommended. It allows users to login without remembering their ID, to reset their password, to receive messages and notifications and a lot more things. The email has to be unique across all the users too.
