**Brief description**
Streams API returns the `user_name` as the users `displ…ay_name` instead.
Meaning for people building a embed from an API lookup either parse the thumbnail URL for the username, or call the users API to get the correct login name for the embed.
This is particularly a problem for "Korean" Streamers
For example
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_id=139470326
Which returns the user_name as `한동숙` which is not valid for building a embed or channel URL
**How to reproduce**
Call https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=cohhcarnage
**Expected behavior**
Return "cohhcarnage" as the user_name instead of "CohhCarnage"
And/or extend the endpoint to return both
