Solved it.

I used this great tip from here, add a text box, make the text box default value be the value of the display name (people picker), remove text box, promote the text box field.

Promoted columns from people pickers

InfoPath 2010. SharePoint 2010. Forms Services.
I have a form that has 3 people picker fields. I want to promote these 3 fields to the document library so that I can a) Send emails to these people via SP workflow and b) be able to see these people in the library views.

So I publish my form and I promote the first People picker field as "Display Name" (I don't see a way to rename this field or promoted column name.
I then go to promote the second people picker field and Display Name is not available in the drop down - only Account ID and Acount Type.

What is the best way for me to promote all people picker fields and do I have any control over their names?
I'd much rather see "Employee" and "Manager" as columns and not "Display Name" and "Account ID" - I'd rather not see account ID at all as I'd like them displayed as display names
