Page title displays username instead of display name

The title for my Beacons page (brenasia.com) shows my old username blckchnbaddi3 instead of my display name in two places: Google search results and the browser tab when someone visits the page directly.
Current title: "blckchnbaddi3 (@brenasia) | Professional Inquiries Only"
It should display my display name — Brenasia — not a username I no longer use. There's no setting in the dashboard to correct this. The <title> tag appears to be pulling from the username field rather than the display name, which affects anyone who has ever changed their handle.
Requested fix: generate the <title> tag from the display name, not the username — so it's consistent everywhere the page title appears.

Thanks for flagging this, brenasia — super helpful context. I understand why that’s frustrating, especially with it showing up in Google results and the browser tab. I’m going to pass this along to the team to take a look at how the <title> tag is being generated (username vs. display name), and we’ll follow up once we have an update.
