If you're not too sure about what you're actually supposed to do on this site, here's a point by point breakdown of the entire process:

Adding Your Name

  1. on the Add Your Name page, enter your email address, first name and last name. Hit 'Proceed'.
  2. We'll have sent you an email to the email address you entered. When you receive it, click on (or copy / paste into your browser's address bar) the URL labeled 'Confirm Email'.
  3. This will open a new page on our website in your browser. You'll see a confirmation message on screen - that's it, you're done!

Editing Your Name

Editing your name uses the exact same process as adding it - all we do is replace your old details with your new ones, once you've confirmed your email address. Confirming your email address is the exact same process as when you added it (see above).

Deleting Your Name

In every confirmation email you recieve, there is also a link to delete your name entirely from the database. Please remember, only the latest email you have will work - if you've added and then edited your name to our system, only the last email we sent you (the one you received when you edited your name, not when you added it) will allow you to delete your name from our system.

If you no longer have the confirmation email, you can simply edit your record - this will send out a new confirmation email, and you can hit the delete link from that one.

If you're still unsure of how to use our system, or have any questions at all, please drop us an email on website@howcommonismyname.com.
