: Google Webmaster Authorship Email Verification Issue In the email verification section, I see a message as the image below: I am not sure, why it is detecting my name as 'ali rana' instead

@Jamie184

The issue may be caused by not full confirmation of your site in Google+. Try this plus.google.com/me/about/edit/co and fill the "Contributor to" field with the link to your site. Also you should left the link from your website to your G+ account (e.g. plus.google.com/u/0/xxxxx121377144232527?rel=author, where xxxxx121377144232527 is your G+ personal ID).

Regarding rich snippet in SERP you should wait as Google must reindex it.

Here is my guess about why Google is offering to display your name as " 'Ali Rana' instead of "Md Ali Ahsan Rana". "MD" is a common suffix used by doctors. They assume that it isn't part of your legal name, but rather your professional title. That leaves them with "Ali Ahsan Rana" and they take out the "middle" name leaving "Ali Rana".

Neither of those two rules sound like they are culturally appropriate for you, but these Google algorithms were likely written by engineers in the United States. It would probably be best to raise this issue in the Google Search Product Forum so that somebody from Google can find out about the issue.
