Change Names to Usernames on the site

I noticed that comments, author names, download history, user search in downloads, all of these are showing the Names of users versus their username?

Can we switch out the user's first name and use their usernames instead?

Max Romanchenko task for you when you get the chance. Thanks.

Amrayu78 Yes, it is possible, but it is done in the same way as on the old site, where users can change the displayed name in the settings. To confirm - You’d like usernames (e.g., john_123) to replace display names (e.g., John Smith) everywhere - comments, downloads, etc.?

Max Romanchenko Yes, I think usernames is better. I think some Display Names are the user's real names, so we're trying to protect their privacy.

Amrayu78 I replaced the name with the username everywhere. Please check it.
