Experience Profile always shows anonymous or unknown as Name

Question

I'm creating a small POC to learning Sitecore personalization, and I'm trying to create contacts. I have a register form where I will create extranet users and login form. The experience profile page always showing anonymous even I login also. Then I try to identify contacts using this code after login code.

Sitecore.Analytics.Tracker.Current.Session.Identify(UserName);

and I can see the current contact by

Sitecore.Analytics.Tracker.Current.Contact.Identifiers.Identifier

But when I look into experience profile it is showing as "unknown" .

How this contacts make work? Is there any detailed documentation available for it?

Sitecore Version : Sitecore.NET 8.2 (rev. 160729)

Not sure what version of Sitecore you are on, but this is a bit of code from the Sitecore Launch site. It identifies the user and adds the out of the box xDB facets. This is Sitecore 8.1.0.151207.

    public static void SetVisitTagsOnLogin(string domainUser, bool IsNewUser)
    {
     string name = Sitecore.Context.User.Profile.FullName;
     if (name == String.Empty) name = Sitecore.Context.User.LocalName;
     Tracker.Current.Contact.Tags.Add("Username", domainUser);
     Tracker.Current.Contact.Tags.Add("Full name", name);

     Tracker.Current.Contact.Identifiers.AuthenticationLevel = AuthenticationLevel.PasswordValidated;
     Tracker.Current.Session.Identify(domainUser);

     if (IsNewUser)
     {
      IContactPersonalInfo personalFacet = Tracker.Current.Contact.GetFacet<IContactPersonalInfo>("Personal");
      personalFacet.FirstName = GetFirstName(name);
      personalFacet.Surname = GetSurName(name);

      IContactEmailAddresses addressesFacet = Tracker.Current.Contact.GetFacet<IContactEmailAddresses>("Emails");
      IEmailAddress address;
      if (!addressesFacet.Entries.Contains("work_email"))
      {
       address = addressesFacet.Entries.Create("work_email");
       address.SmtpAddress = GetEmailAddressFromUser(domainUser);
       addressesFacet.Preferred = "work_email";
      }
     }   
    }

    private static string GetFirstName(string fullname)
        {
         if (fullname.Contains(' '))
          return fullname.Substring(0, fullname.IndexOf(" "));

         return fullname;
        }

        private static string GetSurName(string fullname)
        {
         if (fullname.Contains(' '))
          return fullname.Substring(fullname.IndexOf(" ") + 1);

         return String.Empty;
        }

        private static string GetEmailAddressFromUser(string username)
        {
         if (username.Contains('\\'))
          return username.Substring(username.IndexOf("\\") + 1);

         return String.Empty;
        }
