Ticket Booking in Nightjet
I have booked a ticket from Munich to Venice on nightjet for two adults. While booking on Nightjet's website, they asked only for name of one passenger. Since I am not a citizen of either Germany or Italy (and so is the co-passenger), I am a bit wary of this situation.
Is it okay, that they have asked only for 'name' and no details of any ID card? I have also made a terrible mistake of putting down wrong email id (although after booking I got the PDF of the ticket).
Any suggestions/information in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

On the German train website it is/used to be normal to buy a ticket for several people on the name (and ID) of one of them.
The person named on the ticket have to travel, the other(s) may be replaced by other people, as long as they meet the same age group and other restrictions (if any.)
There were no restrictions on the nationality or location of living for any of the people, only on having an acceptable ID. (In the past it had to be credit card sized but by now also passports are acceptable.)
The Austrian site you booked from looks to have the same rules. One name needed and this person also needs to be able to show an acceptable ID. Other people on the same reservation are not named. (And in fact you can take others if the ones intended can not go.)
The fact that you got the e-mail with the ticket shows that your e-mail address was acceptable.
