Here is the stocking for the other nephew that needed major correction. 
In this case, it was operator error. I forgot to leave a place to duplicate stitch his name. The chart has a heart and holly leaves, and says to leave it blank if you are going to add the name afterward. I just blindly followed the chart this time. You can see that I have already threaded the circular needle below the heart and leaves in preparation to cut the top of the finished stocking off. The stocking is knit cuff down and has a hem, so the trick this time is that I need to knit upwards and make the hem going the opposite direction it is normally knit it.
You only need to snip one stitch above the “lifeline” and unravel around.
The top is removed and ready to put on the correct needle and to be re-knit the opposite direction.
After re-knitting, the named wss duplicate stitched and the stocking was hung by the chimney with care.
