Whenever we use userName or something like that (displayUserName) will
definitely create confusions with userLoginId.
As I stated before username parameter is mapped to userLoginId at many
places in ofbiz.

we call "user login ID", so that would be more confusing.

displayUserName ?

Yeah, if we have two alternatives that might be confusing, why not combine them and create a frankenstein option that will _definitely_ be confusing! I'm for displayName... when people say "user name" they usually mean what

Our Crowd server uses displayName (as well as sn, givenName and mail) but that is probably because it is backed by LDAP. Display name gets auto

populated with First/Last name, but is editable.
userName sounds too much like a string to use for login, where

displayName would mean the name to display in the system. If we add this field, we should edit createPersonAndUserLogin server to set the value to First/Last if its empty as well. Then use this field in the header instead

That seems a good reason, what is used in Crowd ? I suggested userName

because it's related to userLogin. What about  displayUserName ?

displayName is used in LDAP? Sweet! In that case...

displayName is a common field used in LDAP systems. Which is
really the only reason I suggested it. Usually its the
first/last name together but its totally arbitrary.
