Hi there, ajs908!
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you are having an issue with your name being greyed out in Settings and I am happy to help out! First, go to Settings > General > Restrictions and check that Restrictions are showing to be off. Next, I recommend you check out this article with steps for How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and close the Settings app. Once that is done, Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch then check to see if you are still noticing the issues.
Let me know the results and have a great day!
