choices for visibility of user name?

Why is there no option to choose the visibility for ones name?

In times where privacy options on the web are important this would be a crucial feature. Also: I understand that having a name for an account is required. But to take away the option to choose to whom it can be visible is not understandable for me.

Or am I missing something?

You could ask for this as a feature request on Trac

There is a premium plugin I know of that does this – BuddyPress Profile Visibility Manager by BuddyDev.

@demiano Profile Name field is mandatory and it’s created at a time of plugin activation. It’s hard to add visibility control on it.
