Your Display Name is what people see above your avatar; it is NOT the same as your username, which always remains the same here and is the identity you use to log in. The username is also what people can use to tag other members, to draw attention to the fact that they've been mentioned in a post ( see here for further details of that process, and the link within that post explains in greater detail).
If you want to change your Display Name to anything else (eg from French Forum Survivor to FFS, or captainmorgan to Captain Morgan), this is the route: Profile>Edit Profile>Personal - change the details and click Save Personal Settings at the bottom of that page. |

Thats how I got capital letters into my display name, i think all the usernames are lower case |
