I see. Thanks
So removing the 1 is a better name, but there is still nothing wrong with adding the 1 as I'm merely pointing out the position of the nitrite group?

Is it called 2-hydroxy-2-phenylpropan-1-nitrile ?

Indeed it does. Well spotted, thanks! =)
It should be C6H5C(OH)(CN)CH3, shouldn't it?

Put it as c1ccccc1C(O)(C#N)C - this way you don't have to count these pesky hydrogens 
Hello there,
I have never seen a structural formula written like so, what is the naming of this system so I can research it?
