Where do I submit a name correction?

At the beginning of my career I was listed a few times as Alice Marie Schneider in films, but for several years now, I was listed as Alice Schneider which I do prefer.

On IMDB I am still listed as Alice Marie Schneider alias Alice Schneider and I want to do the exact reverse:

Alice Schneider alias Alice Marie Schneider.

The problem is that I didn´t find the place where I do name correction - can you please help me? 

Thank you very much!

Hi AliceSchneider-

In order to submit a name correction, you can go to the name page and scroll down to where it says 'Edit page.' Once you are there, look for 'Name Updates' and then 'Name Correction.' You can choose add correction and then click continue to fill out the rest of the information to send to our editors.

For more information on name corrections and our policies, I encourage you to review our following Help Guide

Cheers!

@Maya​ Thank you so much for your precious answer!

I am sorry but I dont´understand what you mean by the "name page" ?

When I am on my profile I just can find "Account settings" and there I find the button "Edit profile" and not "Edit page"...

I am looking forward to read you again and say a big THANK YOU in advance ...

Alice

@AliceSchneider​ Your welcome!

The name page is the pages on IMDb for example, where you have the films you have worked on listed amongst all the other information like (biography, trivias, amongst others...). If you happen to scroll down on this page that is where you will see the 'Edit page' button. 

This is an example of a name page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000072/

Now, I see that you are talking about your activity page instead where you will see the reviews you've submitted, the lists you have created, and so for which this is different.

Cheers!

Thank you again dear Maya, I already put the corrections there some days before and when I went back to this page today (thanks to your hint) I saw that somebody answered me that: 

  • This correction has no effect.
    The corrected name is identical to the original name and has been rejected as a result.

Maybe it is complicated to understand what I want because my english is not so well - I would just like that the name "Marie" in the middle (between Alice and Schneider)dissapears - so instead of Alice Marie Schneider I would like to be named Alice Schneider... do you understand? Can you maybe help me in this special case?
