Hi first of all thanks to your replies to this post, I have been away for a few days, hence my delay in replying.

I have asked nominet if I could change to have it show my initial and then surname, but they come back with reply I mentioned in my initial post, namely that I could not change the name I originally purchased the domain name under, unless;
I was transferring the domain to a 3rd Party (which I am not, I still want to own the domain)
The domain was registered in the name of a married couple or business partnership and they had broken down and I wanted to change the name to a sole ownership - (again that doesn't apply to me)

Unfortunatley this was not possible, because when I signed up with 123reg to buy the domain, I had to enter in my Credit Card details, and it's at that point you have to put your Cardholder Name details exactly as it says on the Card. So I think that's how they registered my full name as registrant of the domain.

My domian registrant offers as system to withhold your details. You put the third party's company details in the system. The will then pass any post/emails to you...
Will have to check up on that reg about correct details... I am sure it was an email from my registrant.

Who did you register your domain under?? Was it 123reg?? That was the one I bought my domain from. So if anyone did a WHOIS search on your domain what would it say as the Registrant? Thanks.

I did a WHOIS search on oinkyboinky.co.uk and it stated that the Registrant is Vic Casambros - As I got my domain with 123reg, I think they use your full name you give when you register your Credit Card details, on the billing section.

Yes, it does appear that way. Although I don't want to post a false name, not maybe my first Initial and then surname.
