Max makes a great point. People are known by their personal names. In
the example, Joe’s friends know him as ‘Joe’. Almost no one would call
him ‘Joe Blogg’, and absolutely no one would call him ‘jblogg’—except,
oddly, his computer. That is not humane. What Joe should see is his
personal name. If, however, there are more than one Joes registered on
the system, it should display his full name (or perhaps just ‘Joe B.’).
Finally, only if Joe has not given the system his name should it display
his username.

A similar point can be made for the Me Menu. It lacks an option to
display only one’s first name (which should be the default).
