Since you can't modify a BRG without losing the BRG, one should always take care to set room search to 2Adults and book as 2adults as in theory (if not always in practise) an unhappy hotel can then refuse to allow a second occupant.
That said one does not need provide the name, say it will depend on your various friends plans nearer the time which friend will accompany you.
If you provide the second name, then if that person is not make stay date , you can't get a different person into room. A good reason i don't say John Smith as second name if I am asked.
