Description
Hi,
I'm using Nextcloud AIO v7.11.2 (Nextcloud Hub 6 - 27.1.5) with Circles 27.0.1. When newly added users via SAML are filling out their contact details and set first name and family name, the contacts display name is shown with this both attributes in the Contacts app. The Circle app still shows the username which makes it hard in my case for maintain the Circle groups, because the usernames are randomly generated letters in the ID Provider. Is there a possibility to tell Circles what name to display?

Start by tracing the Circles member-name display path and compare it with the Contacts app behavior described in the issue. Confirm how SAML-created users' first and family names are exposed, then verify that Circles consistently displays the configured contact name instead of the generated username.
