Thanks Chad. Not sure how I missed that. My first and middle were indeed specified in the 'first name' field. I changed it but haven't send a ward-wide email yet to confirm but suspect that it'll work. Not sure why setting 'display name' doesn't do the job.

I too have the same issue - I had changed my email address and Display name months ago, the email change occurred but still getting full name (Christopher) rather than what is listed in LDS Account (Chris). Middle initial isn't present anywhere but shows in emails from Calendar to the Stake. Calling is Stake Exec Sec so frequently send calendar updates to the members, and have the ones that think they are funny call me Christopher when the see me :-)

I had the same problem, but I discovered that in CDOL you can edit various items ,including your name. It's worth a try!

I am not able to edit the preferred name in CDOL which is showing in long format that seems to go out on email.
