I don't understand what you mean, the name the user logs in with is their display name.

The standalone RTE came originally from Web Wiz Forums.

Trying to place the latest standalone version of the RTE into the forum is a massive task that requires allot of work, due to the RTE actually being a part of the forum code, rather than a bolt on extra due to forum permissions, etc.

If you would restrict visitors to only see the real name it would render things like PM's almost impossible... I don't think it's a sec. threat, all forum systems use the username. Besides, who actually publishes their full name on a public forum, that is more of a risk than a login name, of course give you know how to choose your password/phrase.
