real name appears as author
-
My wordpress user name is marmar thunder, the same name I use in my gravatar. I have two blogs kapetasapubliko.wordpress.com and marmarthunder.wordpress.com both under one wordpress account. My author’s name in both blogs appears as marmar thunder but right now in marmarthunder.wordpress.com it appears as marmar dagu-ob which is my real name. I don’t understand why this is happening.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

How do you have your profile set up?
dashboard—>users—>my profile—>”display name publicly as—>save -
Ofcourse I know how to explore the dashboard.I didn’t put my real name on the basic details. My display name had always been marmar thunder. it shows correctly on my other blog but it shows my real name on the other. please see the link http://marmarthunder.wordpress.com/
I have an authors’ widget at the left side bar and you’ll see that my name appears as marmar thunder but if you click one of my posts you will see that the author’s name is marmar dagu-ob. it must be a bug or something. -

Hi there,
Thanks for reporting that issue, marmar thunder. I am going to have my engineering team take a closer look here, and I will update you when I know more.
Thanks for your patience. :)

Following up, the reason you have your real name displayed instead of the one in your settings is due to your connection with your G+ account, and the authorship features that are integrated along with that.
If you wish, you can change your name on Google+ and then disconnect and reconnect from WordPress.com (Settings>Sharing) to update it here.
