When I registered my account I forgot to capitalize the first letter in my first name and I was wondering if there is any way possible to correct that it is capitalized like it should be?

It would be nice if you could, but I suspect you may be stuck with what you have. It has been done in the past under special circumstances but very rare. I would suggest opening a support ticket so that you can get a direct reply from a Linden.

I have read before that capitalizing a letter in the name is possible. Just submit a support ticket as the previous poster suggested and see what Linden says, it can't hurt to try.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they can make minor name modifications such as that. Try a support ticket.


If it really bothers you and they don't get to you, make a new account.

Fill out a support ticket. I know someone who the Lindens changed the first letter of his first name to be capitalized. Don't expect it to happen immediately; it is a holiday, and this type of support ticket will have low priority.

Sometimes they also change your name without actually consulting you first too...

How so? Capitalizing? Anything else and I would think you couldn't login.

Not that I can now ANYWAY... Grr.

No, it actually happened to someone in this thread...I believe LL changed it by a letter.

From what I remember you are actually prompted about that when you sign up. As in "are you sure you want your name to start with (......something about undercase)" :eek:

Yeah file a support ticket, but could I be so bold as to ask why?

Nice name btw :D
