I have changed my display name - so now that is what shows in upper right corner of the Outlook menu bar.
HOWEVER - when I send an email now, the new display name does not show up next to the thumbnail picture that the recipient of the email sees.
Any suggestions?
Hi. Is there any way for my last name to be displayed correctly on my Outlook profile (https://profile.live.com)?

I keep getting the error message "This name contains a word that isn't allowed. Please enter a different name."

I'm assuming it's because the middle partion of my Norwegian surname is considered a (very mild) swear-word when isolated, and therefore on some list of prohibited names..? My surname is actually just the name of my ancestors' old farm in Norway, so it's pretty annoying to not be able to use it...

I've already tried changing/saving the "country" on my account settings (from Norway to USA, Switzerland, Sweden etc), and then attempted to change my name, but with no luck.
While my name is Simi Malhotra and my email id is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, when I send a mail, the recipients often see my display name tagged as  'Avtar Singh Malhotra', which is my father's name. Also, when anyone sends me a mail I see the displayed name to which the mail has been sent as 'Avtar Singh Malhotra'. Though in my settings, I have reset my name as Prof Simi Malhotra, the problem continues. I have been a hotmail user for close to 15 years and this is a problem which has started only in the last 3-4 months. Please suggest a solution. Thanks. 
My account is like *** Email address is removed for privacy *** my Display Name is like Abcde Fghij. Whenever i send an email is shows abcde.fghij rather than my display name. I hope you've understood what i am trying to say (keeping in mind privacy).. 

Thanks :) 
I have an outlook account with a primary and one other alias. .  1.Can I use a different display name for each alias on emails that I send?  2. If not can I remove the display name from one alias only?  3.  If not can I remove the display names all together?

Hi
There's no display name settings for android if you use exchange server in outlook and hotmail. But there is if you use pop3 or imap protocols.
Exchange works fine and fast.
In android email, it is possible to use gmail, hotmail, outlook at the same time whereas it not possible in google play outlook application to use outlook and hotmail at the same time.
Is it possible to update exchange server settings to add display name (nickname in google play outlook application) for android phones.
Best regards
Hello, I have one primary Outlook.com email address and 3 aliases. Emails sent from the aliases all show the display name of the primary. This is not what I wanted. How can I change the display names of the aliases while keeping the email addresses intact? Thanks!
