**What would you like done?**

Write a theme component to remove the “Name” field from /u/username/preferences/account so users cannot change it. The approach is given [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disabling-full-name-changes/53944/11).

**When do you need it done?**

Next week or two?

**What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?**

Open to offers but I think this is an easy job for someone familiar with themes. **Please PM me** if you can do it. Thanks!

I was thinking not visible, but your idea is better.
