  ‘Like’ notifications sent to me and possibly my blog post notifications emails to my followers are listing my name as Mark Andrew Watkins. This is incorrect. It should read Andrew Mark Watkins. Also I have been called ‘Mark’ by one of my followers so presume that they are receiving the incorrect information as readers of my blog also.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Please check what you have listed in the “Display name publicly as” textbox in the My Profile section of the Users area in your WordPress.com Admin panel.

  Have checked and ‘Display name publicly’ had my sub-domain name in ‘andrewmmwatkins’, not the name in the notifications but I changed it anyway and filled out the other name boxes to see if it makes a difference. Cheers! All I have to do now is wait for another email…

  …It worked. All the emails in my inbox now read ‘Andrew Mark Watkins’! Thanks
