    The problem with this approach is that $data['FIRSTNAME'] and $data['LASTNAME'] keeps data from Magento. This mean if shipping address name from PayPal is different from Magento it will be overwritten. I'm afraid the only solution here is to parse $data['SHIPTONAME']. Commented May 31, 2016 at 14:00
  • Correction, $data['FIRSTNAME'] and $data['LASTNAME'] is PayPal account holder which can definitely be different from shipping address name. Commented May 31, 2016 at 14:20
  • 2017 and we still ahve this problem ;) Is there a workaround or fix for this??? Or is the solution still to parse $data['SHIPTONAME']? thanks in advance Commented Aug 28, 2017 at 13:31
  • Update! I am an Magento 1934 .... if I take a look in the sales_flat_quote table ... then I can clearly see first+lastname ... can it be that the PP Exress was updated and is now sending firstname + lastname? only Magento keeps hard-resetting it? See here: imgur.com/a/ucf6U -- how else could it get there? Commented Aug 28, 2017 at 15:01
  • We are using this answer and see: the billing address has a firstname+lastname and the shipping address has a firstname+lastname .... only the account itself in customer/accoount in the backend nass no value for firstname+lastname. Is this fixed supposed to fix this too? Or is there another solution? thx Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 16:02
