Oh, you're right, I haven't considered it...
But I think adding nicknames feature with Messenger Plus! wouldn't solve or worsen their issue... It would be just a "premium feature" for those who chose to install Messenger Plus!.
For this issue I've done the following:
- in Name I wrote my nickname (in my case Ryder66, it accepts numbers)
- in Surname I pasted a symbol (in my case the "omega", that worked perfectly)
Otherwise a way to remove the surname is this:
- Open Windows' Character Map
- Enable Advanced view
- Search for "left right mark"
- Then double-click the first result, select it in "Characters to copy" and Copy
- Paste it in your Windows Live Profile instead of your surname
- Done
[Tested again both methods right now
