    Hi @Johnny Kaxe ,

    Normally, your first name and last name will be automatically recognized and filled in.

    If you want to change it, you only need to modify your Microsoft account name and sign in again, then it will automatically show that your name has been modified.

    Feel free to reply if you still have any questions. :)

    I do not want to change my name. My problem is when I sign in for developer program it tell me it is not possible until I fill out my name. But I already have done that. I have also entered the account and pretended I would change it and saved the change. Still the developer program tell me I have no name.

    I tried to get screenshots showing the error, but today I got no error!
    So now I can fill out country etc. and join the program.

    Thank You for trying to help.
    Issue solved without doing anything different than yesterday.
    I do not know how to close this issue, since it is not relevant anymore!
