Allow name section to be hidden

[mage]

Title:
Allow name section to be hidden

Area:
Profiles

Summary:
An option to allow the name field in profiles to be hidden.

Description:
As stated here:

http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request.bml?id=2155

The Name Field used to hide when custom titles and the name field were the same.

I'm not suggesting this be put back in, since it was a bug what I suggest is an option to hide the name field on the profile (like you can hide your email, location, etc.) regardless of what is put in the custom title.

To me, I prefer not having the name field in my profile since it looks neater.

ETA: Or, if you vote "Should be implemented with changes" perhaps not forcing people to input anything in the name field? Not sure how that would work.

To those who are wondering, this is a choice that I and many others like to have on our layouts, I have grown used to this layout style but I still do not like that section where the name appears, since my other contact info (sans email) is below my bio.

Why would you want to hide your name? I mean, you can put anything you want there so what would be the point?

Yeah, that's my thought on it.

This is the OP.

Yeah, you can also put a fake location in, but you HAVE to fill out the name field but not location, and I just don't like it being there. I use the custom titles instead.

If I could have an option to not be forced to fill the name field then that'd be fine with me. :P

If it's the same as your username (or if you just don't care to show it) ~ it looks redundant if you put it all over the place.
