Nuria Nuez | 8 comments Hi!
My name appears in two different ways "Nuria de la Nuez" and "Nuria De". How could I fix this? I´d rather only have "Nuria de la Nuez". Thanks! :)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Nuria, I've had a look, and I can't see where you are showing with the capitalised D. Can you link an example?

Thanks!

Banjomike | 5166 comments This has come up before. It is something to do with the way that Goodreads handles first names and surnames. It seems to assume that anything that follows the first name must be a surname and therefore gives it a capital. It isn't picking on you, it is also on other author pages with similar spellings.

"Melissa De is now friends with..."

Where it uses your full name it gets it right:
"Nuria de la Nuez wrote a new blog post"
but:
"Nuria De made a comment..."

As far as I can remember the to avoid it is to put ALL your name in the first name box.
