User.Identity.Name property contains the string, that was passed to FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(thisString) during authentication.

If you want this property to contain an userId, change the authentication code to

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userId);

As Darin said, its by design.

In your forms authentication cookie creation method, just save your UserID in the Name property

That's not a problem. It is by design. Inside the forms authentication cookie only the username is stored. You could have an index on your database on the username column and efficiently retrieve the user details given this unique username.
