Wow.
Has anyone ever run into a situation where the signal login is set to display the username, yet it shows the name no matter what you do?
I spent longer than I want to admit on this one, as I just had to figure out why...but I finally give up!
I absolutely gutted the install; I even removed all the core components, disabled every plugin, removed absolutely everything, even the menu...just one frontpage article.
I installed the core login next to it, but it displays 'admin' correctly!
So I said to myself, it must be something in the signal login module. I did, after all, change the language file and a little code...so uninstalled it, downloaded a new one, stock install, and same issue.
So I said to myself, why not go into the module and force the username, rather than assume the backend dropdown works, so I did.
So I said to myself, it must be something with the db, as I did have RokBridge installed and perhaps something fishy is going on with the db...so did some UPDATE `test`.`jos_users` SET `name` = 'admin' WHERE `jos_users`.`id` =62 LIMIT 1 ; action, then changed it back to 'administrator with some UPDATE `test`.`jos_users` SET `name` = 'administrator' WHERE `jos_users`.`id` =62 LIMIT 1 ;
action.
Well, here's the final result:

Okay, so I just couldn't give up, despite wasting, well, a lot of time just trying to understand how this is possible. So I went a little crazy...hoping for a 75% success rate and everything pointing toward the singal login. I failed again.

The solution is somewhere on the forum:)
Let me find where;

EDIT: I misunderstood your post I think you were looking for something like this before, or am I wrong?

Close. Before, I was struggling to figure out whe the name/username is being passed to phpbb3 in lower case; so if my signal login up top says, "Welcome, Admin" on the Joomla side, it showed, "Welcome, admin" on the phpbb3 side...being passed that way by deisgn, it seems.
For this one, I absolutely gutted everything and no bridge or anything...unless the bridge did something before I uninstalled it.
No matter how I set the signal login now, or go into the code and change the parameters to call the username, it displays the name....stumped.
