Person's name contains unauthorized words, preventing temple work
KLTF-9TY, Sarah Jane Male. Years ago I had to contact someone with FamilySearch directly to free-up everyone in her family for work, since the program will not allow the word "Male" to be in a name. Per the UK Census, Marriage records, et al. this is the actual family name. Since then, most of the work I submitted has been done. But Family Search won't let me seal her children to her for this same reason. I need to spend some time on the family and see what other people have work being held up for this reason. I cannot find a link to send a message to FamilySearch directly. This is the only place I can find to pose this question/problem. Thanks all😉 wshupe

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

You are not alone ...
As you are already aware ...
Short Answer: 'Yes', the problem/issue, regarding "Temple" Work, relates to the "Name".
Specifically, in your case, the particular "Word" of "Male", in the 'Family Name' / 'Surname'.
Unfortunately ...
'Yes', CURRENTLY, we must "Request", that each individual/person, be "Checked", in each and very case.
As you are most likely aware ...
There are certain "Words", when used in the "Name" Field, of an individual/person, in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch', that evoke the, "Needs More Information"; and, contact 'FamilySearch', for "Temple" Work.
Individuals/Persons, in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch', whose "Name" Field, contains these certain "Words", need to be investigated by 'FamilySearch', in each and very case, prior to "Temple" Work being undertaken, to ensure that these certain "Words" are actually part of the individual's/person's "Name", rather than the contextual use of the "Words".
Here a "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch':
What words and abbreviations cause "Needs more information" to appear?
And, remember, that list of "Words" (and "Abbreviations") is non-exhaustive, there are others.
Now ...
That Said ...
Hopefully, a "Moderator" [ ie. 'FamilySearch' "Support" (Personnel) ], here in this Forum, will find your post in this 'Category' of "FamilySearch Account"; and, "Move" your post to the more appropriate 'Category' of "Temple"; which, specifically pertains to "Temple' Work; and, then, take this matter of yours, into the Workings, of 'FamilySearch' "Support", communicating with you directly via/though either, "E-mail"; or, "User Messaging", in 'FamilySearch', to better assist you.
Just so that you are also aware ...
For future reference ...
Please be advised, that for problems/issues, pertaining to "Temple" Work, for individuals/persons, the more appropriate 'Category' is that of "Temple"; and, here is a direct link to that 'Category":
FamilySearch Help
'Category' = Temple
HOME > FAMILYSEARCH HELP > TEMPLE

I hope that this may help/assist, somewhat.
Furthermore ...
As an aside ...
FYI
Again ... you are not alone ...
The matter, regarding "Invalid" Words, in 'Family Names'/'Surnames', was also raised recently; as, an "Idea" (ie. 'Feedback'):
Automate unblocking temple work for valid surnames in Family Tree that are in the invalid words list
Just a thought ...
You may wish to add your support to the aforementioned "Idea" (ie. 'Feedback').
Good Luck.
I hope, that you get the help/assist, you require.
