This is already the case, the verified name is the account name, which is always displayed just below the nickname. What's your plan? Add a 3rd name?


This is obviously not true, unless I'm misunderstanding something. I'm not a twitter scientist, but I don't know what an "account name" is, unless it's the twitter handle. The twitter handles of blue checks are verifiably not required to have any relationship to a name that anyone knows them by, so are not a "verified name."

So, you know perfectly well and understood perfectly my point.


Remove nicknames.
