A possibility could be that your friend has set your full name in the Hotmail contacts. Since he updated to WLM 2011, that name has been used also in Messenger and "overrides" the one that you set.
I think so because I've noticed that when I browse the profile of some of my friends I also see the full name followed by a fake name in parenthesis. This is because I always used to set the real name of my friends to use it in Windows Live Mail.
