Did some experimenting with SuperTool. Started by grabbing chunks from the Biography QuickReport and tweaking it. The code is crude. But I like your idea enough to try hacking it into the Biography addon.

The 9 lines of change dropped into BiographyQuickview.py neatly. (Although it was necessary to add an import).
The developer of the Biography quickview recommends using Title Given "Nickname" SURNAME Suffix custom name format in preferences. The Biography Quickview uses the “Common Name” in the body of its report. (The fallback order of “Common” is: Call Name (if present), Nickname (if present), First name from the Given Name field)
