I agree Leave it, it's a part of their history. Bad or good. If the couple wanted it removed I'd appliqué some hearts to cover the name but think it should remain.

This is my thought as well. I have made quilts of a similar nature. Families/couples change. It is one point in time. The people receiving the quilt will understand that.

I would leave it as is. Later on, if she wants to change it, you can hand sew an applique over the name if you want.

I would suggest that you find out how the couple feels about it before you decide...

What happens if you remove it then they get back together?! I'd leave it be.

I would leave it on there. It was meant to be regardless of there problems. It is not your responsibility to remove it. Hope it works out.

I agree with this.

I would offer to cover the name with a needle turn applique and use one of the leaves from the other fabric I see if that's what the recipients request
