Reservation request showing guest's full name.

Hi Paul, yes, this issue has been brought up before on the groups. See this post for another discussion about this:

This issue of full name being visible goes both ways, so guest could potentially also see your full name on their phone. WHich is why I previously recommended that hosts set their account so that only booked guests receive your name. Airbnb is apparently aware of this "glitch" but hasn't fixed it yet, so I recommend that until they get it fixed, you adjust your account to prevent leakage of your last name to those who haven't booked.

To do that, just go to your account, and edit your profile.

Where the last name field is, remove all but your LAST INITIAL, so that your full name does not appear. Then, all that guests will see via the mobile phone is your first name and last initial.

Then, on your "house manual" part of your listing, which only is revealed to those who book a reservation, there you can add your full name along with your other house info such as directions to your house, wifi info etc.
