first name appears in author citation - even though (in my opinion) they're not ambiguous

Thanks for trying  to find a previous topic. I don’t think this exact issue is in the forum :wink:

I guess you are saying that you have selected the option under “ambiguous citations” in the journal output style you are using – as “add a letter after the year”, but it is still using the option “include the authors initials or full name in citation”?   (see screen3.gif attached).  If so, I am not really sure what is happening either.

Try unformating and reformating and make sure you are using the output style that you checked what the options were? 

I agree they don’t really look ambiguous to me either…

the other place to check is under Author name in Citations (see screen4.gif attached).  Try unticking (or ticking) the “use initials only for primary authors with the same name”.
