Instead of replacing with the text to the right of the = sign, it could generate the replacement text from a configurable template which can optionally also use the original nickname. For example, the template (which would be an additional setting) could have values like %name (%nick) so that if the mapping contained a line:
jbloggs=Joe Bloggs
then the replacement text would be Joe Bloggs (jbloggs). It could even get fancy and have conditional formatting based on the lengths of %name and %nick.
