Atelier Sakura games (need help)

[NewbTransla]

Hello guys,

I'm currently translating some atelier sakura games. I just have trouble replacing the names of the characters (they are in Kanji) with english
Whenever I type in their full names (First name and Surname) the display window gets wacky.
The full name is displayed but not in the desired area. The game still runs though but the replaced name is all over the place. 
Any help for this?

Have you tried restricting it to the first name only?  To be blunt, it might just be a space issue.

Yes I tried it. It works. But I have seen atelier sakura games that contain both the first name and the last name without any issues (Marina 1 and Mayumi 1 and 2).
Any thoughts about this?

Mmm... the only thing I can think of (from an amateur's perspective, since I'm not a coder) is that they must have changed something in the system when they made the game that made it bug out for you. 

Also, if this is a coding issue, you might need hacker help to make this work, if you want to put both names in. 

One potential choice would be to put only the initial for the surname in.  However, I can almost guarantee that the aesthetics of that would annoy a lot of readers.  Tbh, in English, having both names there is a bit aesthetically displeasing (and likely to annoy some people, whether you choose to follow Japanese order - surname then personal name - or Western order - personal name then surname), if useful if you forget names all the time.
