There's a related bug about adding a gui config for this at bug 438767.

** Description changed:

  Myself and friends have one major gripe with Ubuntu's MeMenu, that our
  real names are not used.
  
  My name, for instance, is 'Danté', yet MeMenu uses our computer name,
  which is converted into 'dante'. I have friends with even more difficult
  names who have told me they find it slightly unsettling (and even, on
  some levels, insulting) that the computer does not use their proper
  name.
  
-     gconftool -s /system/indicator/me/display --type int 2
+     gconftool -s /system/indicator/me/display --type int 2
  
  That changes the MeMenu username to the User's actual name. I would
  suggest this to be default.
