Hi Rebecca, It just occurred to me that what you are trying to do is actually already possible with a little bit of configuration. You can add a "display name" or "preferred name" field to the basic profile, and then configure the "userNameDisplay" property in config.js to use this new field. The "defaultUserNameDisplay" property can then remain "firstName lastName" for those that haven't set a display name in their profile.
