Order of Name

Hello,

I've my profile on IMDb with a name "Jaymin Thakkar" but it shows "Thakkar Jaymin".

I always use my screen name as "Jaymin Thakkar" only. Can you please suggest me how do I make the order of my name correct?

--

Peace & Love,

Jaymin Thakkar.

Jaymin: Go to your name page at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8861603/ and click "Edit page".

On the next screen, on the Name Correction line, select "Add correction". Scroll down and click "Continue".

On the next screen, there will be a blank line on which to enter your corrected name. Enter it as:

Thakkar, Jaymin

(Note that the comma must be included to distinguish your surname from your given name.)

There will be a checkbox labeled "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Thakkar Jaymin)'". Un-check that box.

There will also be an Explanation box. In that box, enter something like this: "I am Jaymin Thakkar, but my name has been mistakenly entered into IMDb in reverse order. My actual given name is Jaymin and my family name is Thakkar, and I am always credited as Jaymin Thakkar, not as Thakkar Jaymin." Click "Check these updates".

On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "By unticking the box to preserve existing credits, you are implying they are incorrect. ..." Check the box that says, "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." Click "Re-check these updates".

On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".

Allow a few days for the correction to go through. Good luck!
