Can't load content type display edit page with name field enabled

When I have the name field enabled on a display for a content type, I can't get to the UI for managing that display. E.g., on /admin/structure/types/manage/CONTENTTYPE/display/DISPLAYNAME, I get the following error:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
TypeError: Argument 2 passed to Drupal\name\NameGenerator::filterByFieldSettings() must be of the type array, null given, called in modules/contrib/name/src/NameGenerator.php on line 162 in Drupal\name\NameGenerator->filterByFieldSettings() (line 211 of modules/contrib/name/src/NameGenerator.php).

My config for the field is this:

  field_person_name:
    weight: 0
    label: inline
    settings:
      format: default
      markup: none
      output: default
      list_format: ''
      link_target: ''
      preferred_field_reference: ''
      preferred_field_reference_separator: ', '
      alternative_field_reference: ''
      alternative_field_reference_separator: ', '
    third_party_settings: {  }
    type: name_default
    region: content

On a display where the field is disabled, I can load the display edit page, but if I try to enable the field, the AJAX spinner by the "Name Formatter" dropdown just spins, and the field never enables.

    I just ran into this on a site that another developer installed this patch, which I removed as part of an upgrade. What I did to resolve it was set the registry installed version to 8202 and reran the database update.

    drush ev "\Drupal::service('update.update_hook_registry')->setInstalledVersion('name', 8202);"
drush updb -y

    Then the configs were installed, no more errors.

    I think the problem is caused by the name.generate.examples being added after you installed the name module. This project only recently made a stable release, 8.x-1.0.

    The update 8203, adds the name examples.

    I am not sure why the update references 8.x-2.3, and the current version is 8.x-1.0.

    I think name_update_8203 could be renamed to name_update_8101.
