Hi. Is there any way for my last name to be displayed correctly on my Outlook profile (https://profile.live.com)?

I keep getting the error message "This name contains a word that isn't allowed. Please enter a different name."

I'm assuming it's because the middle partion of my Norwegian surname is considered a (very mild) swear-word when isolated, and therefore on some list of prohibited names..? My surname is actually just the name of my ancestors' old farm in Norway, so it's pretty annoying to not be able to use it...

I've already tried changing/saving the "country" on my account settings (from Norway to USA, Switzerland, Sweden etc), and then attempted to change my name, but with no luck.
