Whats the difference between a username and a display name?
Your username is the name that you use to sign in. The username is private. Your display name, however, is visible to the public. You need a display name so that your contributions to the site can be distinguished from the contributions of others. Your display name is the visible identification of you that other users on the site will see when they read your comments on stories.
