Is there a way to change (Nickname) to (Name) on sign up?

That field is required and it shows on members boxes, how can I rename that field to “Name” so it sounds more professional?

Actually thats easy to do I see it now, but I am wondering why was buddypress done it in this way, by having one field (nickname) instead of two – first and last names? With nicknames its much more difficult to sort.

The unique field coming with BP xtended profile is called Name by default. This field name can be changed and you can add some specific description to it to fit your need.

On the register page you have on the left the 3 mandatory fields from WP
username
password
email

on the right BP’s Name field in which you can enter first and last name.
