I think you are looking for user display name. Here is way to get it :

using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
var name = UserPrincipal.Current.DisplayName;

You need to add a reference to System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.dll

logon_user = Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"].Substring(// you domain length here);

e.g : if Domain is "8" character long then,

logon_user = Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"].Substring(8);
