Changing name at the TOEFL Test Center
Only misspellings of your name can be corrected at the test center—NAME CHANGES WILL NOT BE MADE. If your name has changed for any reason, including marriage, you still must present primary identification in the name under which you registered, or you will not be permitted to test. Marriage certificates and divorce decrees cannot be used to confirm name differences.Tips to avoid First name, last name issues
You must use the exact name and spelling of that name as shown on the primary ID document that you will present at the test center. If the name shown on your primary ID does not match the name on your registration record, you will not be permitted to test and a refund will not be issued. You will have to register again and pay another test fee.Be sure to provide your entire first name (given name) and your entire last name (family name). Do not register under a nickname. If your ID document contains two last names, enter the names exactly as they appear on your ID. If you register by phone, please make sure you are registered under your complete name as it appears on your ID.
When applying to a college or university, use the same name and spelling of your name on your application.
Sucess Story of Correcting Name
Got this one of the comments on this page.
I entered my name wrongly during registration and just like others I googled the problem, thank god i come to see this. I doubted it then and I had sent a fax (some online free fax websites. I didnt want to waste bucks 
) my problem written in a file as told above and gave every small details i can. When i logged in to my TOEFL account after 1 week, to my surprise the name was changed. Everyone who have changed their names during registration, should check this.
