When I tag someone using @, Teams copy the person name in the post, right?
But I know many people that don't like their name
or their name is too long or super difficult to rear/pronounce
or they like nicknames, like me :)
Then my idea

SolutionNo, that is not possible. It is possible to remove the first or last name in when tagging a person. There is a uservoice suggesting that you should be able to use nicknames.

You could use tags in a teams as a workaround, but that is only per team.

In my organization their are many people having same name but they are in different teams (inside company) ..so it is difficult to distinguish them or memorize their emails...Cant we just rename their names with something like Rahul Bhargava (Development)...so it would become easy to mention right person.
