# Show profile names (first and last name) alongside user handles

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitHub enterprise and organization admins can now control whether users' profile names (first and last names) display alongside their usernames throughout the platform. The feature includes enterprise-level settings with three options (enable everywhere, disable everywhere, or let organizations decide) and organization-level toggles when delegated. The setting applies across repositories, issues, pull requests, and discussions in public, private, and internal repositories.
