It is currently optional. We have had a [heated discussion](https://forum.fairphone.com/t/should-we-display-real-first-names-more-prominently/44491?u=stefan) about this option though. Some people argued that the forum users are not aware of the implications and consequences. And of course social media logins set the real name automatically. Besides there are two valid points in my eyes:

- User profiles are not public on our forum (only logged-in users see real names of other users) ([source](https://forum.fairphone.com/t/should-we-display-real-first-names-more-prominently/44491/21?u=stefan))
- If real names are not displayed above posts, they are not indexed by search engines (see [example](https://forum.fairphone.com/t/should-we-display-real-first-names-more-prominently/44491/12?u=stefan))
