JD,
  You could go a step further and do an elsif on the userdb and if an actual
name exists put it in place of username. If no actual name yet then
username. This info is derived from the order process and in the name field.
Something to consider secure is not required throughtout the entire site and
does use more resources than unsecure. Might save secure for just the
checkout process.
