We originally had this, but removed it because apparently in some locales it is offensive to have your computer refer to you by your full name. For instance, it should be "Mr. Gould" instead of "Ted Gould." We weren't able to get a good grasp on how to solve this so that it would be internationally acceptable so we continued with user name which is okay. There was a bug about changing it, but I'm failing to find it now. Personally, I prefer the longer name as well so it's okay in en_US ;)
