Are you sure an apostrophe is required and that it is
not Parkinsons Law
of Triviality?

I would recommend putting square brackets (and

This said, I think that having: [[Username]] (ie. the brackets around
the user name) is a nice way to avoid complete redundancy when the
Username is the same as the First and Last Name.
