Full name instead of username

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Is there any way to force blog posts, articles and other content types to display the full name of an authenticated user instead of their username? How do I display their full name even if I cannot remove the username? Can the full name be made a link to the user profile?

Thanks in advance!

When I manually add a new user as an admin, it offers the option of adding "Your name (first and last)", and I was trying to tie into that field rather than add additional fields. I can add additional field, if there is no way to tap into this field.
And I am using D7

Should have added this in the last post. Have you tried this module? http://drupal.org/project/realname I think it'd get you there pretty fast.

Looks promising
