Any user can change their visible name (some users play with this, changing their name every day), this makes problems with @tagging.
How to forbid/disable changing of visible user name ?

While we are on the subject, I shortened your display name. There's no reason to go overboard.
Thanks!

That closely related to subject ;D
If you don't have very many to edit, you can just go in their profile and change it - Like I did.
How to find all significantly changed names:
SELECT * FROM `smf_members` where REPLACE(member_name," ","_") != REPLACE(real_name," ","_")
List can be fixed with a help of phpmyadmin.
If you're already doing that why not just
UPDATE smf_members SET real_name = member_name;
and just be done with it?
