Normally, name changes are handled through your school. You'd want to check with your school's Registration department and/or your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Learning team, and someone should be able to tell you the proper process to get your name updated.

I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
