The name box in the edit menu is connected to the name that appears on the top of your profile and is the first thing a visitor see when they view your profile. You can edit this information by clicking "Edit" under your profile photo.
Then, simply type in any new name you wish to use.
Please note that if you have more than one last name, only the last name you are commonly cited by should go in the "last name" box. Additionally, the middle initial field only accept initials; if you have a middle name, please put it in the first name box.
When you're finished, select "Save Edits."
You can also edit the name on your profile from your account settings. Click the edit tab next to your name to bring up our name change fields.
Enter your first, middle and last name, then click "update name"!

A: Did you....
- Try to add any non-standard characters or symbols? If so, try taking those symbols out, and then clicking "Save" again.
- Add a period to the middle name field? We currently do not allow any punctuation in that field. If you would like to have a middle initial (such as Mike E. Smith), please add this to your first name field. Then try clicking "Save" again.
