Verified Checkmark shows up on Humanoids even when the DisplayName is changed

In my fighting game, Little Warzone, I anonymize Humanoid DisplayNames in the FFA gamemode to minimize targetting. Usually this is set to the insect they’re playing, for example ants are called Ant, mantises are called Mantis, and so on. This has worked well so far.

Recently, I discovered the verified checkmark has started showing up most notably for myself, even when the DisplayName is changed. Since prior to this, verified checkmarks didn’t show up when the DisplayName was changed to something else, this seems like unintentional behavior. Approximately 3 days ago this bug was not present, suggesting it’s recent.

Expected behavior

Verified checkmark should not show up when the DisplayName on a Humanoid is changed to something else, as it did prior to about 3 days ago.
