Do I have to give my name at an AA meeting?

Giving your name is something you choose to do, not something required. It is a tradition rather than a law, so it rests on the people present rather than on a policy. That is the same across Illinois and not a local custom.

What is a step meeting?

A set of suggestions rather than instructions, in the fellowship's own phrasing. The middle ones are the reason people stall, and stalling is treated as ordinary. You can go to meetings for as long as you like without touching them.
