Kathryn,

There are two features in TMG Utility you should consider.

Add Standard Name adds a name event for everyone who has a specific surname.
If Coffinberry appears in vital records, but later the name was most
commonly spelled Coffenberry, you might use Add Standard Name.

If you really want to change existing names, you should use Change Name
Parts:
