spent more then an hour trying to figure it out and failed 🙁

Help in locating the code that handles the profile edit (handle the form after it submitted) will be helpful as well.

From what I recall, BP uses the bp_xprofile_data table to store the display name, field_id = 1, for each user.

There is a BP setting for syncing BP and WP profiles.
Some info on what that does:

Re profile edit handling code: Look at function save() in class BP_XProfile_ProfileData in bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-classes.php
