ASP MVC How to create custom FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie?

Question

when I set the AuthCookie like this

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, true);

the model.userName is actually the users email which is what uniquely identifies each user, then on my view when I use:

Welcome <strong> @User.Identity.Name</strong>!

it displays "Welcome [email protected]!, however I would like to user the user.firstname.

So, my question is, is it possible to implement a custom User.Identity or a custom Forms.SetAuthCookie that will allow me to use something like this on my view:

Welcome <strong> @User.Identity.FirstName</strong>!

You can access some information provided by the MembershipUser class. However, there is no property for first name or last name, which means you need to implement a custom membership user / provider. See this article.
