I can't rename elements titles!

Hi.

I took this form from another topic on this forum, and i'm trying to rename elements titles from the Form Management area in Joomla.
For example:
i'd like to rename the "name" element to "MyName" to show it in the stored data viewer, so a do the following:

name=MyName

but when i fill the form, in the stored data i still see:

name: Bob

What's the problem?

Here is the code of the form:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
  legend
{
color:#000000;
background:#6699FF;
border: 1px solid #781351;
padding: 2px 6px;
}
 fieldset
{
border: 1px solid #781351;
width: 90%;
background-color:#E9FEFE

}
label2
{
width: 16em;
text-align: right;
margin-right: 0.5em;
display: block;
}
   label1
{
width: 8em;
float: left;
text-align: right;
margin-right: 0.5em;
display: block;
}
select {
width: 8em;
text-align: left;


}
  
  input
{
color: #781351;
background: #fee3ad;
border: 1px solid #781351;
}

.submit input
{
color: #000;
background: #ffa20f;
border: 2px outset #d7b9c9;
}
-->
</style>

Hi deza,

'Element Titles' only affects the default results email, not the stored data.

To change the name of the stored data you'll need to make *matched* changes to your form and the column name in the database table (I think you can do this easily with PHPMyAdmin).
