Changing my name

Hello. So I opened my account few days back. I was stupid enough to open my account not manually, rather syncing it with my gmail. And my gmail is named "Lamia Potter" (I'm a potterhead and I never thought it would cause me a headache like this). I've worked in other market places and although they sync informations from email, they still ask you the basic questions like full name, date of birth. I thought it'll happen here too. But they synced everything from my gmail and so the stupid potter tag is on my profile now ugh.

 

I wanna turn it to my real name which is "Mahrukha Rubaiyat Lamia". What should I be doing now? I'm new here, I tried the edit option and they said to wait for 48 hours. It'll be reviewed by then.
