    initial v1  
    1111What about just putting the mention name below the display name? It doesn't prevent people from choosing to use the mention name in a post, but seems like it would cut down on people copying a name and including the mention name unintentionally.

    13 I'm attaching screenshots of two variants of this proposal. [attachment:meta-3899.option1.png Option 1] simply moves the mention name to below the display name, and removes the parentheses. [attachment:meta-3899.option2.png Option 2] extends option 1 by appending the title/flair after the mention name, so as not to expend more overall vertical space after the change of option 1. The two are separated with a `/`, but any other separator could be used.

    1515Another option, which can be done in conjunction with my previous suggestion or by itself, could be to add an explicit "Reply" link. Similar to the second proposal in ticket, clicking it would put the display name of the commenter into the reply form. (Extra fanciness where highlighted text from the comment gets added within a 'blockquote' as well.)
