I like seeing the name for a different reason. I’m often signed into someone else’s account—could be a family member’s or my girlfriend’s. Most services do a good job of making it clear which account you’re signed into, but seeing the first name associated with the account right away is always nice.

Some things like Slack and Microsoft Office show your initials and full name (space permitting) which isn’t as irritatingly faux-familiar.
