When I bought my iPad I signed in with my apple accout and it auto-filled all my information as it does. However recently I signed up to join a car forum. I chose a username which consists of two separate words (Slow Driver) and for some reason my first and last name in iOS has changed to the username I chose for the forum.

Now anything that uses my name uses this instead. For example when I send an email it shows my name as "Slow Driver". I do not understand why as the forum I joined has absolutely no links with iOS and I even access it using safari not an application. All I did was use my email address to join the forum.

I have checked in iOS settings and in my email settings and my name in there still shows as my real name, however whenever I send emails, use auto fill for websites or anything else that relies on my stored name, it uses the incorrect name.

Thanks if anyone can help.
