That field on the Individuals tab can not be changed as far as I know.
What I did was add a new column which I called Full Name. I defined it as INDI.NAME:ADORNED_FULL. This column shows any prefix or suffix with the name. It does not show nicknames. I'm not sure if that is possible.

You can add
Nickname. Right click on the column headings, select
Configure Columns and a popup will appear, go to the bottom of the list and select
<Other...> a pop up will appear, give it a heading then use
Insert Data Ref and find
Nickname (or enter
%INDI.NAME[1].NICK% as the expression). You can reorder the columns in
Configure Column window using the up or down arrows.
Hope that helps.

The important point is that the first column in every tab on the Records Window is the Name/Title of the Record.
If you click the [+] next to the record to expand its fields, then value of the Name or Title field is usually what appears in that column. There are a couple of exceptions for Family and Note records. The 1st column cannot be customised.
As has been explained you can add custom columns to show whatever details you like.
Combining the two suggestions below, the following expression will show the full name with Prefix, Suffix, etc, and conditionally add the Nickname prefixed by AKA.
=Text( %INDI.NAME:ADORNED_FULL% . CombineText( " AKA ", %INDI.NAME.NICK%, , ) )
