Why don't you just implement a convention that people's usernames ARE there real names, e.g. "andrew.naismith" would be your userid.

Hi,
Is there an easy way to force the use of a users "real name", instead of their username in the history pages. The credit blocks seem to use the real name if it's set.
We'd like to hide usernames completely...
thanks Andrew
