wpForo and WordPress set usernames as Display Name by default. However as far as I see you don't use wpForo and WordPress registration forms. You use other plugin. You should ask this question that plugin developers. They should find some solution for you.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

I use Ultimate Member for users management, do you know if there is a problem with that plugin?

@xernovil @robert I'll jump back in here as I use UM for user management also. Go to UM -> General -> Users and you'll see a drop-down selector where you can change the display name globally. You'll need to clear all caches after making this change.
