You'll have to open up the privacy setting if you want someone to look at it with you.

When you go to the edit tab, you should be able to type the name you want, instead of anonymous.

Hi Rob, you have to put something in this box or it automatically defaults to "anonymous". Click on edit, then click on the box and change it, even if it is the same name as above it. Remember to save your editing.
