There is a problem with text case in maemo.org. If you just try to fix the case of your name (mine was all lower case) it won't change. This is probably because there is a check that says, "Has the user changed this field? If no, don't update the database." The problem with the check is that it doesn't check for case changes.

I fixed my "muggle name" being all lower case with this workaround:
1. Edit your profile.
2. Add a single character to the end of any field you wish to change. For example, change "firstname" to "firstnamex".
3. Save your profile.
4. Edit your profile again.
4. Change the fields to the values you actually want. For example, change "firstnamex" to "Firstname".
5. Save your profile.

And there you go.
