My brother's name displays incorrectly in the Public profile.
+1
vote
90
views
My brother is named after our father with a II suffix. He has always gone by his middle name so I entered it under both Middle name and Preferred name. The Private display is correct as First Middle (Middle/preferred) Last. Public view shows Middle - middle initial - last. for example: Joe Sam Jones who prefers to be called Sam. Private = Joe Sam (Sam) Jones; Public = Sam S. Jones.

I feel your pain. I went through the same thing with my mother's listing and have yet to find a solution. Sandi

Brent and Sandi,
I wouldn't generally recommend a hack like this, but you could try putting the middle name as part of the Proper First Name.
