Discourse Show Fullname in Mentions

Hello Sérgio, thanks for the theme component!

I tried it but after experimenting I see it create some inconsistency UX-wise.

Here’s what happens : I got this user whom username is “oli44” and fullname “Henri Oliver”. With your theme component it now displays “Henri Oliver” which is great adds better context. But then, let’s say then I’m another user who doesn’t know that “Henri Oliver” goes by the username “oli44” then how do I mention him in my post?

I’m gonna search for “Henri Oliver” and I will see in deed “oli44” but how can I know it’s the actual person?

For that reason, as it is I’m finally not enabling it for the moment. Do you know eventually another theme component/plugin which would solve that problem? I tried to look for such but couldn’t find.

Or maybe there’s a way your theme component could still show the username (for ex: @Henri Oliver (oli44)) so when I need to mention that person I know what to look for(?)

Thanks anyway for this great addition
