it takes automatically the name of Email not first or last name .
“Hello john_55 (not John_55? Log out)”
]]>That’s a great idea. The account page is set up to show the “display name” by default. That’s a WordPress core feature and can be set by editing the user’s profile on the backend of the site.
You may be able to use a PHP snippet to force the display of the first name if it’s available. I haven’t tested it, but there is a snippet here that may do this for you.

Another option would be to use a template override and change this with your theme. The file you need to override is /templates/myaccount/dashboard.php. On line 30, change this:
'<strong>' . esc_html( $current_user->display_name ) . '</strong>',
to be like this:
'<strong>' . esc_html( $current_user->first_name ) . '</strong>',
On my test site that replaces the display name with the first name that’s saved on the user’s account.
I hope that gets you pointed in the right direction.
Cheers
