I have a few contacts where I changed their last names or I misspelled their name when I entered them. They are still displaying as their previous name in the contact list. When I go to edit it has the corrected name. Short of deleting and re entering is there a way to fix it?

Try go to settings, email accounts, long press Microsoft account then sync. See if that updates it

If I am not mistaken, which happens often LOL, I believe contacts imported over from another phone are stored as "read only" and can't effectively be edited, as you have discovered. I had a similar issue when I switched to WP and those that had issues I had to delete and re-enter. Well, actually it told me read-only contacts couldn't be delete, I had to just tell it to not show them. The newly entered contacts could be edited as needed.
