The name of a person is a central concept in genealogy. In Gramps, you can enter name information in the [[Media:EditPerson-PersonWindow-40.png|'''Person Edit Dialog]] ''' and from the {{man label|Names}} tab or the {{man button|Edit}} icon at the top of this dialog, you can jump to the '''Name Edit Dialog'''. [[File:EditPerson-PersonWindow-40.png|thumb|right|400px| Person Edit Dialog (Gramps 4.0)]][[MediaFile:EditPerson-NameEditorWindow-40.png|thumb|right|400px|Name Edit Dialog(Gramps 4.0)]].

[[File:EditPerson-PersonWindow-40.png|right|thumb|150px|Edit Person]]The Edit Person Dialog has fields to enter the standard name of a person. In this, the call name can be entered directly here. To refine the info about this name, one can click on the Edit icon to bring up the name editor.
Furthermore, one can add extra names in the names tab of this editor. To switch a new name to be the standard name, one needs to use the context menu (right click on the name), and select 'Save as default name'.
