When I had caller ID I didn't have anyones number programmed into my box and when the phone rang, the number would appear but no name and I thought it was because I hadn't programmed my associates into it. However I called someone today and they had my first and last name on their box (this was someone that I have never called before) and my number is unlisted and unpublished. When someone calles someone does the name appear in the box in addition to the number from the phone?

Yeah, you have to order NAME and NUMBER CALLER ID phone service from local telephone service provider, if it is available in your area.

There are different things. Name display will show your name regardless if you are not programmed into the phone or not. Caller ID will show the number and the name if you are programmed in the phone, but not if you aren't. The guy likely had name display.

it a depends who your provider is. i got caller ID/with name, but the best feature I like about my service is, I can program what my caller id shows, its like caller id spoofing, so today I programed in Olson's Funeral Service, I think its so cool, tomorrow I with try Miss Piggy strip club, I also can block all 800, 866 numbers

it depends on the system that you have, some are automatic, and rely on the information programed by the phone companies.
other can be added manually. read your manual.

I don't know but it does look as though this is getting remarkably close:

(I wonder if you are in California)
Also, if they can do it in Japan, I'm almost certain they can do it anywhere:
