Comment (by imath):

 I was wondering what was the purpose of the nickname and found this on
 [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/104548/where-the-nickname-
 is-being-used-in-wordpress stackexchange]
 > Display name is selectable between the user's username, first name, last
 name, first/last, or last/first, or nickname. The nickname exists to give
 you an option to set display name to something other than your username or
 real name.

 Do we have an idea why we are syncing the nickname with the BP Name field
 ?
