Hey,

For anyone's who's interested I managed to get it working. 

Here's the functions I changed/added to the blog module:

function getUserDisplayName($number)
{
    $fieldId = 19;    
    $result = db_query("SELECT p.value FROM {profile_values} p WHERE p.fid = $fieldId AND p.uid = $number");
    while ($nameQuery = db_fetch_object($result)) {
      $displayName = $nameQuery->value;
    }
    return $displayName;

   
} 

/**
 * Implementation of hook_view().
 */
function blog_view($node, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE) {
  if ($page) {
    // Breadcrumb navigation
    $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'blog', 'title' => t('Blogs'));
    $tmpnumber = array_sum(array($node->uid));
    $userDisplay = getUserDisplayName($tmpnumber);
    $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'blog/'. $node->uid, 'title' => t($userDisplay . "'s blog"));
    $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'node/'. $node->nid);
    menu_set_location($breadcrumb);
  }
  return node_prepare($node, $teaser);
}
