There is an option prior to sending the invitation if you wish your name to appear as is; if not, you may change your name. Also, there is an option if you wish to send a message with the invitation. Good luck.

Hi, What are you doing to test that it's still not working? if you add someone that you have added before then they will not get the new name change unless they have deleted you from their address book as well as friends list. Their address book takes priority, so deleting just the id from their friends list to test adding will not work make sure it's removed from the address book too! :)
