I won over GoFundMe stupidity!
GoFundMe, like many tools, don't understand names. In this case specifically they assume that for donations people want to show the name from their credit card rather than account name... This makes absolutely no sense to me and screams tech bro (derogatory) cluelessness to me.
I prefer to have my real last name only used when needed in an attempt for some privacy...
Anyway, I found a workaround. My bank supports virtual credit cards so I can create a new virtual credit card and just use the name "Samantha Rose" with it, and now GoFundMe uses that name with no fuzz.
This feels very silly, but it works.
