Hi there!

I have recently changed my name and have updated my apple ID to reflect that, however I've noticed that developer.apple.com/account still lists my old name.

Would it be possible to please change your records to include my updated name (and gender, if listed), as follows:

Name: ${NAME}
Gender: ${GENDER}

Best regards
${NAME}
