wrong display name

Why is my messenger displaying my name from web from my Live profile??? I've
never checked any box that allows to take name from web. I want to use my
custom name that I set in my messenger client.

And if I wanted to change my name in Live profile in home.live.com then it
refuses to accept special characters that I've been using for years in my
messenger client.

There is something broken, you know, and please fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Greetings,

There are instances where it can change your name to what's in your live profile in
Messenger, but you can just change it back and it should stick.

Your name in other people's "What's new" feeds will show the first name specified in your
Live profile however.

However, just out of curiosity, what is the character the profile site isn't accepting?
