Comment (by Takahashi_Fumiki):

 I send a patch:

 - As sent in #47522, the user name will be generated with name parts.
 - To fix the main focus of this ticket, default name parts will be
 `full_name`.
 - Default options for `display_name` changed.

 There still remain:

 - Non UI codes with assumptions that users must have first_name and
 last_name(e.g. REST API)
 - The priority of names. At least, users have `nickname` and
 `display_name`.
 - How to handle backward compatibility. We can update user_meat on
 upgrading process, but it can be brutal to generate user's full_name with
 first_name and last_name. Some WordPress sites have worked well with names
 with 2 parts.
