That's a stupid question to ask of them....

And it's so irrelevant.

This is actually decent info - it shows that the staff member you were speaking to was doing a bit of a deep dive.

Always good to have things matching up in communication as a general rule - looks suspect otherwise

Did you sign up and sign in with your google account? they should be able to see your name on gmail account if you did and many other information as well. Sounds a bit crazy if they asked about name that's included in your account username as agent suggested.
