Problems with apostrophe

Since my last name is O'Brien, I usually leave out the apostrophe in my last name in most anything these days, as that usually screws up someone's code of a program.

When I signed into the Beta site, it showed:  Welcome Back, S O'Brien

 As you can see - the nice "&#39: is representing an apostrophe in my name.

You may want to have someone look at it - please don't alienate the Irish! :-)
