Ideally, IMHO, there would be at least three "names": (1) login identifier (used with password as login credential) (2) unique human readable identifier (3) casual conversational identifier Prior to "Display Names", the Second Life (firstname, lastname) tuple was used as all three. "Display Names" separates (2) and (3), but (1) and (2) are still the same. I'm not sure if the work to do so is on anyone's backlog - I'm betting there's a PJIRA on it, though. Technically, it's much less code to touch than "Display Names" (since a login-only private credential would be used in far fewer places in the code than username or display names), but it would be mostly server-side so the community can't help much.
