I don't know if they could have made this more convoluted. First it displays the generic "Customer Public Name" which only goes away once someone adds you as a friend. :oops: Once that is figured out someone can only send it to you if you select a shipping address. Nice feature but why not just use my default address? Then lo and behold it shows my full name on checkout. I don't mind my name being visible as I set it but last name is a bit of an invasion of privacy. This means anybody is able to see your full name just by going not even halfway through the checkout process. The only way to change this it seems is to create a new address and set the name to first name only but the problem is Amazon wants your full name for delivery.

Kind of defeats the purpose of gift lists. One would think Amazon of all would be able to get this right.
