Members who share a name keep their own initials
Two members with the same name each get a short tag beside their name, and their avatars still show their initials, not part of the tag.
When two people in a channel share a name, Bandicot adds a short tag from each member's id so you can tell them apart. That tag was leaking into the avatar, so Ana Lopez showed as A3 instead of AL.
Now the avatar reads only the name, and the tag stays beside it.
