  You'll need to edit the database entry. See table AT_members, search for the login field there.
  You may need a tool like phpMyAdmin for that.
  
  There's no way to change that via the ATutor interface.

  You can also set the Display Name format in the admin's System Preferences to display only the login name.
  
  If you want to remove the real name altogether, you'd need top remove or comment out the checks for first name and last name from the registration.php script:
  
  
  [php]
  
  // if (!$_POST['first_name']) {
  // $missing_fields[] = _AT('first_name');
  // }
  //
  // if (!$_POST['last_name']) {
  // $missing_fields[] = _AT('last_name');
  // }
  
  
  
  [/php]
