you can actually get much of the same effect by a well-written Description field!

I thought Description was supposed to identify the *icon*, not the *person*?

For example, my default has a description of "A picture of a plush toy, halfway between a duck and a platypus, with a green body and a yellow bill and feet." Which describes the icon, but still leaves no hint that [personal profile] pne is Philip.

I'm also one who would like to see the display name, for the sake of those who do use it to indicate an actual name, though I reluctantly concede that there are many people who do not use that field for a name.
