How to change "suggestions" to my paternal line name instead of my maiden name.

My father's birth surname was "Hiles" but raised as "Williams".  I was born "Williams" but have no dna relatives of this name.  Wikitree suggestions are coming in my Williams maiden name.  How can I get the suggestions to  come in my father's paternal line name "Hiles"?  

If I just change my maiden name to "Hiles" for Wikitree that will do it.  But no one will ever know that that's me.

If you click on suggestions on the "my wikitree" menu, you get profiles you manage. But if you  click suggestions on the menu with your -- or someone else's -- Wikitree id, you get suggestions related to them, and these profiles may be managed by anyone. So, if you change to your grandfather Hiles' profile and use the suggestions link on the menu with his wikitree id, you will get 8 generations of suggestions related to him, although not all with his last name. I hope this helps
