How do I get the phone owner's full name through AccountPicker?

I need both the phone owner's name and email.

I successfully obtained the name through using ContactsContract.Profile (how to get firstname and lastname of Android phone owner?), but I wasn't able to obtain an email. It is possible to get the email, but it isn't 100% that you'll get any data whatsoever (so even getting the name isn't 100%).

Hence, I'm using AccountPicker, AccountManager & the Google Play Services API to try to get it. That being said, I understand that this method doesn't guarantee getting the email or name either, but I'd at least like to know how to get the name. The following is how I got the email:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_login_register);
    int REQUEST_EMAIL_CODE = 1;

    try {
        Intent intent = AccountPicker.newChooesAccountIntent(null, null,
                new String[] { "com.google" }, false, null, null, null, null);
        startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_EMAIL_CODE);
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
      //handle error here
    } 
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        String userEmailAddress = data.getStringExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME);
   }
}

I'm not sure how I would obtain the name. I've tried replacing AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME with different things, but nothing yielded the result and usually I got an error. Maybe now that I have the email, there is a way to get the name from using it some key?
