Get Windows UserPrincipal DisplayName and Change Order

I'm having an issue with the way a DisplayName is shown when getting the name of a computer user. Currently I use 

public static string fullName = UserPrincipal.Current.DisplayName;

which returns "LastName, FirstName (Department)".

I need to have them displayed in the format of "FirstName LastName".

Is there a recommended way to do this?

Starting in Microsoft.NET 3.0, the UserPrincipal class exposes the parts of the name (as documented here):

using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;

/* ... */

var principal = UserPrincipal.Current;
var firstname = principal.GivenName;
var middlename = principal.MiddleName;
var lastname = principal.Surname;

var customcomposite = $"{firstname} {lastname}".TrimStart();
