Now default real name is empty in irc.conf.
If real name is not set, username is used when connecting to server (this field is mandatory to connect). And if username is not set, string "weechat" is used.

By default, weechat 0.3.2 fills in the realname field by pulling this information from the system. This is not something the user is informed of in any way, shape or form, and something they might not even know exists. In particular, for certain hostmasks, the combination of username + hostmask can be enough to uniquely identify the person. This is an obvious security risk; therefore, the realname field should not be set by default.
