Hi, I'd like to modify my own imdb entry however the system is not letting me. Someone has listed me using my nickname and I want to change it to my proper name, however every time I change I get the following message: "This name has been rejected. You need to correct this name before it will be accepted.
Sorry, adding new names and new companies directly is not yet supported by this interface. You may add new names and companies by visiting a title on/for which they worked and adding the new item there instead. Once the item has been processed and the new name/company is active on the site you may update it directly to provide further information. Also we'd be interested to know via our feedback form how you found your way to this part of the system as it is not supposed to be available yet, thanks."

Hi there,

My name page appears here:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3751342/?r...

The name is currently listed as 'Essy Knopf', but I would like my primary to be listed as 'Ehsan Knopf'.

Thanks!
