MetaMask showing default names instead of names i’ve set

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/metamask/original/3X/8/7/8763d7c10e2ef69d2127855d5e4141e34212eab5.png)

But when you connect to an app they show normally  
When you click account details name appears too

I use MetaMask chrome ext on chrome (windows pc)

It it my browser or a bug?

Hi friend!

Feel free to get in touch with the MetaMask support team:

- Visit : [https://support.metamask.io/](https://support.metamask.io/)

- Click the large blue “start a conversation” bubble in the upper middle of page, looks like this:

- This will connect you to a bot at first, answer some questions and it will open a ticket for you with an agent.

Remember - NOBODY, including from support, will ask for your secret recovery phrase or for you to input it onto any website for confirmation.

I solved it by clicking on account details and modifying the name and validating  
Names was still here so it worked.

The same problem mentioned here is happening with my wallet. Wallet names are showing as default account names, but when I type in the wallet name it previously had in “Search Accounts” it will find the account but still not show the name. The solution above does not work for me and as well I’ve tried several different browsers and turning off ad block but the “Start a Conversation” bubble does not work. Please help!

I was able to find the old names by downloading statelogs.
