This code does the job with a filter. Doesn’t care what the comment says the author’s name is.
Nothing particularly tricky about it. Should be self-explanatory.
add_filter('get_comment_author', 'wpse31694_comment_author_display_name');
function wpse31694_comment_author_display_name($author) {
global $comment;
if (!empty($comment->user_id)){
$user=get_userdata($comment->user_id);
$author=$user->display_name;
}
return $author;
}
