Hi Steph, go into account details on the left hand side, log in and then you can change your name to whatever you like! You might need to fiddle around a bit first, getting the names in the right places, but that's where you do it. Good luck! Mandy :)

Brilliant Steph, well done! I don't think it changes your search details, because when I've emailed GR support, my birth name automatically comes up in the box, not 'Mandy in Somerset'. David, no don't change it to Gordon, you won't be able to move for all the bad jokes lol!

Joy, I'm not sure which one comes up actually - my birth name or my maiden name! I also had a different first name before Mandy. I have been known as Mandy Lifeboats (get it?) at school due to my big size 7 feet, and either Randy or Handy Mandy. Now which one shall I choose ....... lol

Hiya Steedie, Big Chief meant I was a little bit bossy when I was younger, but being the oldest girl in a family of 6 children I was IN CHARGE and loved it hehehe. Lynda
