When using the Real Name module, how can I show the original (raw) username in a view?
You're right in using the field User: Name as there is no explicit Raw name field (only a token). Now in the field settings you must uncheck Link this field to its user and More &gt; Use formatted username.

If you still want to have a link to the user's profile, do some field rewriting: add User: uid, move it above User: Name, check Rewrite results &gt; Output this field as a link with the path user/[uid] or user/[uid]/edit.
