Part of the issue is this. If you put a space between the first and last
name (Ubuntu User), then your username becomes "ubuntu" because you
can't have a space in the username.  So, all of the images that you're
looking at reflect the username--not the full name of the person. 

Rather than change all of those images (and how would we aside from
making the username 'ubuntuuser') make a note in the installation that
when you put the space in for your full name, only your first name will
be automatically used for a username. If you want your full name, you
have to manually add the last name without a space.

Have a great weekend.:)
Patrick.
