For my canvas name it is my under my mothers name, due to the fact that I am using her email for it. It will not let me change my Canvas name to my name.

Hi @KendraArvidson,
If you have permission to change your Canvas name, you can do it by following the guidance in the Updating my displayed name in Canvas - Instructure Community - 853 support article.
If you do not have permission to change your Canvas name, you would need to contact your school's Canvas team or IT Department.
