Comment (by nacin):

 > Right, that makes this an UX issue. Do we keep the old (non-existent)
 nickname as a display name

 Yes, absolutely.

 > It is a convenience method to select one value from the four fields
 above plus two combined values. If it can contain something else, there's
 no point of having a drop-down.

 I disagree. There's nothing wrong with showing a list of defaults but if
 the default changes, we still keep the old value.
