I am trying to configure Websphere 8.5.5 with a SAML SSO. I am following the article http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/twbs_configuresamlssopartners.html.

The step 1 was done with "Add an identity provider using metadata of the identity provider."

I got stuck at step 2c. what's the external realm should I use? I assume it's the external idp realm. But where to find the name for it?

It is SAML issuer name. It is usually in IdP's metadata. If you do not have IdP's metadata, you can find the issuer from the "issuer" assertion in SAML.
