Nothing will appear without you having the chance to edit it; however, the first time you edit it, it will auto-populate with the Real Name you may have already entered in your user preferences (if you want to change it, you can do so before you finish editing). We won't be pulling birthday or gender from preferences, though -- you can enter those from scratch.
