I believe you mean TR-8R :parrot:

Actually JJ Abrams capitalized on the unintentional 'Fetting' of the fan named TR-8R and said he is actually FN-2199 'Nines'. He was part of FN-2187's training squad, along with the trooper that dies right in the beginning and smears his blood on Finn's helmet. That's why the whole 'TRAITOR!' thing seemed so personal, supposedly.
Personally I think they made all this up when they realized how popular the character was.. which makes me think they might fight a way to bring him back. Sure he got shot with a bowcaster, but he could have been med evaced after the battle and survived.. now a super cyborg hell bent on revenge against that traitor, FN-2187!
Small edit: FN-2199 and the rest of the training squad was actually in the 'Before the Awakening' anthology book about the main character's lives before the events of the movie. So apparently it was in from the start. But I don't think they knew it would be as big as it turned out. And odd that Finn didn't say something before their big fight. Wookiepedia also says Nines was wounded, not killed in the fight at Maz's castle.

Really? Obsessing over details like this is kind of what Star Wars nerds do. Look at that scene again and tell me that they didn't intend that character to become hugely popular. I don't believe it for a moment.
Method of Madness:
Ehhhh, his name wasn't in the movie, so as far as I'm concerned, he's TR-8R until proven otherwise.

As a Star Wars nerd, thank you. :) And no, I don't think they intended Nines to be the 'Fett' of the series. They were clearly trying to set up Captain Phasma in that role. But you can't Force a Fett. They just happen....

Agreed. However, I suspect that, when he wakes up, Poe won't let that situation persist: "Finn! You're awake! Good, I want to talk to you! Damn it, don't hide from me in the future important stuff like the fact that the girl you picked up on a sand-heap backwater is a Jedi!"
Finn will then more-or-less quote Han Solo's from Return of the Jedi: "Luke? A Jedi Knight?!? Ah, Luke's just a kid! Man, I'm out of circulation for a while and everyone starts getting delusions of grandeur!"
