What do you mean by "During first login"? 
- When they self-register? The email address is already validated then.
- When they are added by LDAP or Moodle or SAML? No validation should be necessary because the email comes from a trusted source.
- When they come through Persona? Again, when they self-register, there is the validation process for the email address.
- When they are added by a CSV file? I would consider that a trusted source that doesn't need validation.

How do you want to validate first name and last name? Some institutions
lock down these fields so that students cannot change them. If you
allowed them to correct things, then you would basically trying to
circumvent this lock. Such changes would have to be made at the auth
source.
