Hi Amelia,
Hope you are well.
As Tori rightly mentioned, the "First Name" and "Last Name" fields will pre-populate for the authors as they will create their login using their name and email address and then submit their papers. And when the reviewer will review their submissions, it will prepopulate it for them.
However, if you still want to be double sure, you can create these as custom contact field and add it in the 'Step 1: Enter the Author's Details' page in the abstract site designer and ask the authors to re-enter their name and email address while filling up the form.
You can also refer to the following articles for your reference :

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Subject: Name Field in Abstract Managment
I am very new to CVENT. I am creating an abstract. In the project design page when name is included for the author there is not text box. Is this so that it can be a blind review? How will I know who the submission is from?
