Ok, so I made a PR

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/30672](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/30672)

That will make it more consistent how we show the name(s) of the groups.

By default, in the groups page (/g) we would only show either the full name or the display name.  
But in the group page (/g/group-name) we would show both the full name and the group’s name.

The PR ensures we always show both the full name and the group’s name (when they differ) in both pages.

I didn’t “fix” the fact that you need to enable “unicode” in username to get properly localized group’s name, because it has a much broader impact and enabling unicode “manually” feels like the right amount of friction.
