Display Full Name instead of username in News Article View

I've created 3 news posts in the News posts. However under "Author" field, it only accepts those on the drop down menu. Somehow I am associated with "SpaceEmeline" or "emeline". Can this be changed to my full name "Emeline Paat-Dahlstrom" and if so, how can I change it?

I have used the new custom field formatter prepared for issue #258 to display the proper name of the news article author in the view generating the news page.

@epaatdahlstrom : the author field you are working with is an auto-complete field, rather than a drop down type. This means that it will display a list of possible matches from the database using the first few characters you type (which can occur anywhere in the suggestion). Currently you need to start typing a username, as that is what is being auto-matched. However, it is a relatively straight forward update to have the auto-matching done on the first and/or last name values instead. Please raise a new issue if you would like that update implemented.

Should be able to use the same solution suggested by @thomasmurphy for issue #258 of creating a new display mode that contains only the user's full name and then render the entity.

I have created a "full name" display mode for users that utilises a display suite full name field, and used that display mode in rendered entity outputs where the author name is shown on a news article.
