I was thinking that there can be an AVP that if set will be used as 
User-Name, else it will take it from where it takes it now (credentials 
or From)
That way you don't have to compute it 2 times, nor will there be 2 
attributes. Just set that AVP if you want the default overwritten.

something along the lines:

if (is_avp_set(some_avp_spec)) {
  take User-Name attribute from that AVP
} else {
  take User-Name attribute from credentials/from as now
}
