How do I edit a contact's name, prefix, or suffix?

Open the edit form

Go to the contact's profile page. Click the contact's name at the top of the page. The name display turns into an inline edit form with individual fields for each name part.

Fields available

The form shows these fields:

  • Title (Dr., etc.) - prefix such as Dr., Mr., Ms., Rev.

  • Nickname

  • First Name

  • Middle Name

  • Last Name

  • Suffix (Jr., etc.) - suffix such as Jr., Sr., III

  • Pronouns

Save your changes

Press Enter or click outside the form. The changes save automatically when focus leaves the form. To discard your changes without saving, press Escape before clicking away.

How the display name updates

The name shown at the top of the profile is built from Title, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, and Suffix joined with spaces. It updates immediately after you save. Pronouns appear in parentheses next to the display name but are stored separately and do not affect the main name display.
