Currently, you can change the name in the MeMenu by running these commands in terminal:

To remove the name from the MeMenu altogether:
gconftool -s /system/indicator/me/display --type int 0

To show your real name/’about me’ name:
gconftool -s /system/indicator/me/display --type int 2

To display the default account username:
gconftool -s /system/indicator/me/display --type int 1

So is it feasible to propose that the About Me spec to get integrated for 11.04? <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeMenu#Changes%20to%20About%20Me>
