'Known as' problems

I have been entering my family. Unfortunately the names of some family members appear unfamiliar because the site automatically uses first names even when someone was known by his or her middle name. I have entered the relevant middle names into the 'known as' box but this does not alter the way the person's name is displayed. Does anyone have any advice? Linda

hi either dont use their real name just the name they were known as or put the right name and then middle name in brackets maybe
