    Considering the fact that you have Enabled the FBA in MySite I am sure, you would have gone through following links.

    1. Exclusive Site on FBA & SharePoint
    2. Configuring FBA in MySite

    One know restriction with the FBA Based SharePoint is that SharePoint has no out of the Box way to Import the User Profile details from the FBA DB, as it does in the Active Directory. So when you enable the My Site with FBA it uses user name (That has Provider:Username format) in all the places instead of the Name. To overcome this what we have done is to create the User Profile using code and update the Display Name so that we get the Names as we wanted with out the Provider prefix.

    You can refer this for creating the UserPorfile using Code.
