Allow donor to choose display name on donor wall.

Right now the donor wall only shows the full name of the person donating (for example John Doe).
Sometimes one wants the donor name to be their name but want to make a different name to display (for example "the Doe family")
There should be a field for display name in the donation form.

Donor Wall should support hiding last name

As an admin, I don't want to display the donor's last name.

Agree, this is very important to me, it makes sense!
We shouldn't display this kind of info.
Anonymous is a good option but for those who don't select this option, last name should be truncated

Custom Name to be used on the donor wall

Matheus Martins

As an admin, I'd like to add a Donor Display Name field as a basic (or possibly optional) field. If the donor enters anything in this field, use this field value rather than First Name and Last Name when displaying the donor on the Donor Wall, etc.

This will allow for joint donors (like couples that want to be listed together), donors using a credit card in another name, and donors that wish to be listed as a business/organization rather than under their name. Automatically using the First Name and Last Name in the donor record can be undesired or even problematic.

This is an interesting feature request. We generally try to minimize the number of required (or even optional) fields on a donation form, to maximize the chance that a donor will give. Having two name fields would be a little much. That said, if enough people feel strongly about this, we'd be happy to take a look. Vote and comment here.
