Okay, prolly an easy question..with an obvious

When people sign up, they provide a display name, and then their real names.  Is there anyway to make sure it always shows the display name and not the 'nerd' name?

in user settings (admin > user accounts > user settings) you can define a token based calculation for the display name, eg. [FIRSTNAME] [LASTNAME]. Once you defined this, all displaynames already in the system will be recalculated, and new users will not be able to user their own displayname
