Bug Description
In some cases, some users have the same real name. In this case, the users are confused while the login session because lightdm displays only their real name, not their username (account name). Why don't you display the usernames? The uniqueness of the usernames are guaranteed, while their real names could be duped.

I agree. Or probably set the default choice to "Other" or sort of something like that on LightDM on computers with multiple user accounts.
