Describe the Bug

Hello,

we have a user with a long name (26 letters). If he writes a comment on a page, his name does not appear on the top of the comment.
He changed his name with a shorter version (4 letters), and the name appears.

I don't know what is the exact limit, but with me (14 letters), it works.

PS : thank you very much for your work @ssddanbrown, we will plan to update bookstack to get the new notification system, it looks promising.

Steps to Reproduce

Change your name in your profile with a long name.
Write a comment in a page.
Check if the name is shown on the head of the comment.
Retry with a shorter name.

Expected Behaviour

The name should be shown, or at least with "..." at the end if it is too long.
