I misspelled my grandmother's first name. I went back and corrected it and now "anonymous" appears in the preferred name space. How do I get rid of "anonymous" in the preferred first name space?

Carole,
In the preferred name space, add the same name you had in the first name space. This should correct it.

You should be able to change it in the edit link on that profile and change it to the name you want to be there.
