Question Using Real Names

Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to use people's real name instead of their username? For example, all my posts are created with the username "admin", but I'd like the forum to display my real name instead. I've checked all the options in the configuration panel, but no luck so far...
I'm not sure it's important, but I use Joomla user database for the forum. And the user must give their name (so the field will never be empty).

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks a lot. It was actually very simple... I hate it when it's in front of me.

Ι have chosen to display the real names for my users...

Part of the decision is due to the type of website we have, the other is that I don't want the username to display, since I consider it a kind of site security leak, if not so much for the users, definitely for the administrator.

The problem is that once one is registered - and malicious users could register - if one visits a user's profile page, the username is displayed right next to the real name.

There is a feature in Kunena which allows users to post a message with a nickname, but that is not automatically used.

Is there a way, or a future possibility for that matter, for registered users to be able to pick a nickname in Kunena and have it automatically used whenever they post a message and of course have it displayed alone in the profile page of each user (instead of the real name or the usename)?
