Adding a different name for different jobs

Hi anna_nicholas -

As I understand the issue, you are currently listed on the site under the name "Anna Nicholas", but you want to be listed under the name "AR Nicholas", is that correct?  If so, confirm here and our staff can make the manual name change on your behalf.

Otherwise, know that we only allow one page listing per individual on the site, so you would not be able to list two separate pages under "AR Nicholas" and "Anna Nicholas".

Hi anna_nicholas -

The page I previously referenced was to our Help Guide with instructions on how to submit a name correction.  To access our contribution form where you can submit the Name Correction you will need to start on your IMDb page, scroll to the bottom and click on the "Edit Page" button (on IMDbPro, Click on the "Edit your page" button, and select “Biographical information, links, name updates”).

Next to the "Name Correction" option click the drop down and select "Add Correction". Scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Continue".  Input the new name in the field and select to preserve previous name on existing credits.  Include the reason for the correction in the Explanation field, click "Check these updates" and correct any errors you're presented with, then press "Submit these updates".

Once submitted your name change request will be forwarded to our editors for review.

Let us know if you encounter any issues!

Hello, again. I think I have made the revision but don't know for sure. For some reason, one recent project  credited an actor as director. I think I fixed that too. I use AR Nicholas as writer/director. Note: no periods after A or R. The system didn't like that. I hoped there'd be a way to go in and adjust my "function" on each project. Is that possible? Sorry to be a pill but I want it to be and appear correct.

Thanks, Anna/AR

Hello Again.

Now the top of my page says A.R. Nicholas, when it should say Anna Nicholas, then under many of the credits, it lists "As Anna Nicholas" when it should be "As AR Nicholas". Is there no way to get this right until I'm famous? haha. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi anna_nicholas -

I can help sort this out.  Can you first clarify what exactly you want your primary name text to be (for how your name is listed at the top of the page)?  AR Nicholas or Anna Nicholas?

Once we establish the preferred primary name we can then handle the credit issues.

Thanks!

Bumping for other staff as Michelle isn't around.

I think the name correction form will allow you to change the name to "Nicholas, AR" without the periods if you want to have another go.

Hi, thanks Peter. It's not just the periods. We corrected what was AR and what was Anna back when Michelle and I were corresponding and it's gone janky again. How can I keep it fixed where it should be? 

If I tackle the form again, can I make the blanket statement I did above or will there be a form for ever single credit? Is there an algorithm that's not allowing me to change the name in some spots?

Thank you!
