On two separate Discourse instances — one that I admin — I’ve not been able to get my full name “Lou Quillio” to display. It does, however, display here on meta.

I flipped a lotta bits trying to figure out why. `enable_names`, `prioritize_username_in_ ux`, etc. How these are set (and whether a profile even has a full name) doesn’t always behave as I’d expect, but there’s still some edge case with my particular name.

The full name on my profile displays on posts if I change it to

- Lou
- Lou Q
- Lou Quill
- Lou Quilli
- Lou Quillio?

But in my Discourse instances, when I add that final “o” with nothing after it, my full name vanishes from posts. Makes no sense. Gotta be a bug.

**Added:** Could it be because my collapsed, lower-cased full name matches my username, as “[Tom Jones](https://youtu.be/tGRZBa4cKWA)” matches `tomjones`?
