Why do older posts have two names signing them?
This is a hold-over from the old code, which kept track of two names for users — both a username for logged-in users and a display name for all users. Because this code currently has one, migrating posts from the old system was not straightforward. If we’d used the displayed name to sign posts, it would have been confusing for posts signed with a random zing name. If we’d used the username, posts by logged-out users would be blank. To get round this, older posts are signed with the displayed name, and the username in brackets if available.
