what exactly is a forename? It's the formal way of saying 'first name' in the UK. It's related to the word surname, the 'fore' means foremost meaning 'positioned first'. I am not sure if many people in UK from the younger generation especially know the polite, formal langauge; I just spent a lot of time with my grandparents. Hopefully educated a few people though. Example: Forename (First Name | Cristian Name | Given Name): Jack Middle (Gifted Name - usually two at most, typically inherited from ancestors): Linten Anne Surname (Last Name | Family Name): Oaksworth So a full name would be written as: Mr. Jack Linten Anne Oaksworth. (Abbr. Jack L A Oaksworth) When I registered the account I filled out all fields including e-mail with my actual forename, everything on the account confirms this with exception to the part under My Account; the reason being autocomplete replaced the forename with that of my mothers without my initial knowledge. In other words my account would should as Sherry Alexis Ronald Dykes instead of George Alexis Ronald Dykes despite three out of four parts of the name being correct. The bank account associated, the debit/credit cards, the invoices, identity documentation, and everything else are under George Alexis Ronald Dykes. This is why I don't understand PayPal causing such a comotion over a simple mistake when no security risk is present given all the financial aspects are under the correct name and match against my e-mail, cards, invoices. Whilst I may be partly responsible, it also holds true that a bank wouldn't dispute such a silly issue when overwhelming evidence of a genuine mistake can be provided; there is no indication that anyone with that forename had anything linked to the account and the correct forename has matched my e-mail, cards, bank etc since day one. I wouldn't mind opening another account but they're holding me hostage and blocking all my payment methods, whilst restricting my finances and not even directing them to the associated account; practically stealing money constantly due to the account status. Worst off all they won't respond or pick up the phone, so I will have to wait till outside peak time before trying and calling again; unfortunately its at the point I would lose more hours chasing them / hourly wages than the value of what they owe.
